Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann refused to meet BJP delegation on stubble burning: Sachdeva
Sachdeva alleged that the increased incidence of stubble burning in Punjab is contributing to pollution across North India, including Delhi.
In a bid to promote the Punjabi language, the Punjab government has made it compulsory for the candidates vying for Group C and D posts in the state government to clear the Punjabi eligibility test by securing at least 50 percent marks over and above the stipulated recruitment exam for the respective post.
A decision to this effect has been taken by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann while chairing a meeting with the officers here at his official residence.
In order to promote the Punjabi language, Mann said that it would now be mandatory for all the candidates appearing for recruitment for group C and D posts to qualify Punjabi eligibility test with a minimum of 50 percent marks prior to competing for the requisite recruitment exam for the respective posts.
