DAV College staff union on 2-period strike

The staff union of DAV College, Amritsar, observed a two-period strike today in protest against the Punjab government’s failure to release grants for the past five months. As a result of this delay, the salaries of regular staff members have been withheld, causing severe financial hardships for employees and their families.

The union also highlighted that the college management has not yet implemented the salary structure as per the 7th Pay Commission, a long-pending demand of the staff.

Prof Vikas Bhardwaj, president, DAV Staff Union, emphasised that such neglect not only demoralises the teaching community but also undermines the overall quality and reputation of higher education in Punjab.
