Mohali – Employees of the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) have continued a dharna on the institute campus, demanding the implementation of the PPS scheme. The protest began earlier this week and has now entered its second day, with staff members remaining on site throughout the day.
The demonstrators are calling for the PPS, a benefit they say is overdue for the institute's workforce. They have placed banners and placards around the main administrative building, reiterating their request to the state education department and the institute’s management.
As of now, no official response has been recorded from the authorities. The staff have indicated that they will maintain the sit‑in until their demand is addressed, emphasizing that the issue affects morale and the institute’s functioning.
Local police have been monitoring the situation but have not intervened, citing the peaceful nature of the demonstration. The protest remains confined to the institute premises, with no reported disruptions to nearby traffic or public services.
The continuation of the dharna underscores growing concerns among academic and research staff across the region about delayed benefits and employment conditions.
