After years of delays and rising frustration among aspirants, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has confirmed that fresh job advertisements will be released "soon". The announcement came after back-to-back meetings with 10 education unions, where demands for new hires, pay revisions, and smoother transfers were front and center. What’s interesting? The government isn’t just talking; it’s putting pressure on departments to fast-track approvals and even setting up cross-departmental meetings to clear backlogs. For thousands of unemployed teacher hopefuls, this might be the first real sign of movement in a system that’s been stuck for years. The big question now: will “soon” actually mean soon? Or will bureaucracy once again slow things down? Aspirants across Punjab are watching closely; and hoping this isn’t just another promise.
