Punjab CM Regularises Services of 516 Forest Department Workers, Restores 237 Pending Promotions

Earlier this month, the Punjab government announced that it would regularise the services of 516 forest department workers and restore 237 pending promotions. The move means the affected staff will now hold permanent positions instead of temporary appointments. The promotions, which had been delayed for several months, are now approved, allowing the employees to receive the higher pay grades and responsibilities they were entitled to. The decision is part of the state’s broader effort to strengthen the forest department’s workforce and improve administrative efficiency.
