Punjab employees demand revocation of two pay orders over salary gap

Punjab's civil servants have voiced concerns that recent government orders exacerbate the wage disparity beyond the standard dearness allowance. The employees argue that the two orders, issued earlier this year, create an uneven pay structure across various departments. They have formally requested the state administration to withdraw the orders to ensure uniform remuneration. The demand reflects broader anxieties among public sector workers about equitable compensation. The state government has not yet issued a response to the petition.
