Teachers of Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Punjabi University and government colleges of Punjab have decided to proceed on a mass casual leave and join mass rally at Panjab University (PU) under the banner of the Punjab Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations (PFUCTO).
