Thousands of Punjab government employees gathered at Sector 39 in Chandigarh to hold a massive sit-in protest against the state government over long-pending demands. Protesters, representing around 100 employee associations under a joint forum, demanded an 18% Dearness Allowance (DA) release as per recent High Court directions, reinstatement of the Old Pension Scheme, regularization of temporary staff, fulfillment of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, and the cancellation of specific central scale letters.
