Punjab's government employees rallied to press for long‑pending demands including dearness allowance instalments, a pension revision and the OPS scheme.
A group of Punjab government employees launched a protest to highlight a set of unresolved demands. The employees are seeking the release of pending dearness allowance (DA) instalments, a revision of the pension structure, and the implementation of the One Person One Salary (OPS) scheme.
The demonstration reflects growing frustration among the state’s civil servants over what they describe as prolonged delays in addressing their financial and service‑related concerns. Organisers have called for immediate dialogue with the state administration to resolve the issues.
Authorities have been urged to consider the demands promptly to avoid further escalation and to ensure the welfare of the workforce that underpins the state's public services.
No specific timeline for negotiations has been announced, and the protest continues as employees maintain their stance for a swift resolution.
