On Monday, three men associated with Sikh militant group who were planning to target Parkash Singh Badal were arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar.

Chief minister (CM) Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday assured full protection to former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukhbir Singh Badal in wake of the increased threat perception to their lives.

Asked about FIRs being registered against farmers who are burning stubble in violation of the National Green Tribunal’s guidelines, the CM said, “I am sympathetic to the problem of farmers but am bound to go by the law.”

On the issue of agitating teachers, Amarinder said, “Services of nearly 40,000 employees, including teachers, have to be regularised. But it will take time as the government is facing a fiscal crisis.” He added, “We have already given the teachers an option to continue on the existing pay scale or join at the basic pay of 15,300 for three years before being regularised.” The CM pointed out that the pay scale offered by the state government was higher than the current central pay scale of 13,900. “It is now up to the teachers to take a call,” he added.
