The protestors closed the main gate of the directorate of public instructions (DPI) office in Phase 8, Mohali in the presence of heavy police deployment and raised slogans against the state government.

Speaking on the occasion, Unemployed ETT Teachers Union president Deepak Kamboj said they were demanding that the joining letter of ETT 6635 recruitment be issued at the earliest and the subsequent process be initiated.

“The online portal for the new recruitment of ETT 5994 should also be opened soon and the process of filling the form should be started,” he added.

In addition, the protesting members also demanded the restoration of 2,364 ETT recruitment, a chance for overage colleagues and a mandate of a necessary Punjab residency certificate for the 5994 recruitments.
