Barnala: At the local SD College, the college teachers staged a protest against the state government in support of their demands. Speaking during the protest, Prof. Rajinder Kumar, Area Secretary, Punjabi University said that Punjab is the only state in India where the 7th pay commission has not been paid to college and university teachers yet. However, the state government is going to completely burn the higher education in the state by delinking the salaries of teachers with UGC grades.
