Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has advocated for conferring the Bharat Ratna award for freedom fighters Udham Singh, Bhagat Singh and Kartar Singh Sarabha.
Detailing the revised pay scales for these teachers, Mann said education volunteers, previously earning Rs 3,500 per month, will now receive Rs 15,000.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the chief minister said it is unfortunate that the Union government had issued directions to the chairman of Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) in this regard on May 15, 2023
