Government Teachers’ Union (GTU), Punjab, president Sukhwinder Singh Chahal, general secretary Gurbinder Singh Saskaur, treasurer Amandeep Sharma, assistant press secretary Ganesh Bhagat have asked the Punjab Government that the process of transfers, started in March in the Education Department, should be completed because the transfer portal was opened in that month and applications were received from teachers.
