SAD's Cheema Demands Punjab Jobs White Paper as AAP Faces Recruitment, Pension Pressure

Summary
Daljit Singh Cheema urged Punjab's AAP government to publish a white paper detailing the state's employment and recruitment position, saying jobless youth and serving staff both lack clear answers.
The SAD leader said regular employees are pressing for restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, payment of pending dearness allowance and a time-bound roadmap for unresolved service benefits.
Contractual, outsourced and centrally sponsored scheme workers — including MGNREGA staff — are also seeking regularisation, timely salaries, job security and better service conditions, he said.
Cheema called for the document to spell out vacant posts, recruitment timelines, pending DA and the status of OPS and other employee categories, framing the issue as a broader governance test for the Bhagwant Mann government.
