The PTIs are being employed for primary schools. There are around 12,880 government primary schools in the state.

The department was also in the process of issuing appointment letters to the ETT teachers who have been already recruited. On the direction of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the selection list of the ETT teachers had been revised.

Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF) state president Vikram Dev Singh said the recruitment of 5,994 ETT teachers was started in 2022, but had not been completed so far. About 2,600 appointment letters were first issued by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
