Punjab Assembly Praises Transparent Recruitment, Opposition Demands White Paper on Jobs
The Punjab Assembly passed a resolution praising the state government's transparent, merit-based recruitment system, which provided 68,228 government jobs since April 2022. The resolution also highlighted attracting nearly 9,899 investment proposals worth Rs 1.83 lakh crore, generating over 6.16 lakh employment opportunities. While AAP legislators commended these achievements, Congress and rebel Akali MLAs raised concerns about jobs given to non-Punjabis and demanded a white paper detailing recruitments. The government emphasized skill development and challenged opposition claims, maintaining confidence in its recruitment process.
