More than 3 lakh Punjab government employees are observing a statewide one-day strike over pending DA dues, pension reforms and pay-related demands. Government secretariats, district offices, public schools, transport/revenue offices and OPDs at state-run hospitals are expected to face disruptions.
Emergency medical services and private businesses will remain unaffected, and unions have stated that roads will not be blocked. Rallies are planned at district headquarters and Chandigarh.
CM Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to meet union leaders in Jalandhar to address their demands. If no resolution is reached, unions have warned of further agitation.
