Joint Teachers Front to participate in rally of Punjab and UT employees in Patiala

Ludhiana, July 28

The Joint Teachers Front Punjab has announced to participate in the ‘Halla Bol Maha Rally’ of Punjab and UT employees tomorrow in Patiala.

Digvijay Pal Sharma, state president of the Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF), Punjab, stated that the state government, under the leadership of Capt Amarinder Singh, has deceived the employees of Punjab and the UT in the name of the Sixth Pay Commission. A huge cut has been made in the already existing grade pay and allowances received by the employees resulting in great rage among employees against the government policies and Sixth Pay Commission report. This frustration will result in a huge gathering during the ‘Halla Bol Maha Rally’ in Patiala on Thursday.

State committee members said in order to make the rally a huge success duties have been allotted to district as well as block-level workers. Workers of the front are visiting schools along with door-to-door campaign to garner people’s support. — TNS
