Deputy Commissioner, Jalandhar, Varinder Kumar Sharma on Tuesday asked the printers/publishers to immediately start the printing of the books of Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) so that they were distributed to the students from the beginning of the academic session.

Chairing a meeting with the printers/ publishers from the district here at the District Administrative Complex, the DC said due to the lockdown and curfew restrictions, the printing work had not been started. As the schools would start functioning as soon as the lockdown was lifted, the printing work needed to be completed at the earliest.

The DC said the state government was committed to ensuring that students got the books right from the beginning of the session. For this, the necessary modalities had already been completed by the Education Department and now the printing of books must start soon.

He asked the officials of the Education Department to ensure that this work was completed well in time. The district administration would give its full support and cooperation to them in this regard, he said.

He said all the issues raised by the printers/ publishers were resolved so that they could complete the work well in time. Also, he would regularly monitor the work himself to ensure that books were supplied to the board.

ADC Jasbir Singh, DEO Harinderpal Singh, GM (Industries) BS Brar, Assistant Labour Commissioner Harjit Singh and others were present. — OC
