Union leader said that the then state government had started the recruitment of PTI teachers in 2011. However, the issue went to the Punjab and Haryana high court in the same year. In November 2021, the court had directed the state government to complete the recruitment.

Harish Sama, general secretary of unemployed PTI teachers’ union, said, “six months have passed but the government is yet to start the process to complete the recruitment of 646 teachers. Before state elections, we were protesting in Mohali when AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal met us and promised to give jobs after forming the government. However, they have not done anything.”
