Amritsar, February 1
District Language Officer Dr Paramjit Singh Kalsi has asked all government, semi-government offices, private institutions, commercial establishments, schools and colleges to ensure that the orders of the government regarding giving prominence to Punjabi language are implemented.
Dr Kalsi said that the Punjab Chief Minister had announced on November 19, 2022 that all boards and name plates in the state will be in Punjabi. The step was to be implemented on a priority basis. He said that the Department of Languages was making all efforts to ensure compliance of the orders.
According to the official, it was in line with the amendment to the Punjab Shop and Commercial Establishments Act. He said that the failure of all establishments to comply with the orders would warrant a fine of Rs 1,000. He added that during the second inspection, if an establishment was found not to have complied with the orders, the fine would increase to Rs 2,000.
