Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, during an important press conference in Chandigarh, announced that the state government will bring two bills in the Punjab Assembly aimed at ending the contractual employment system and providing regular jobs to eligible workers.
Bhagwant Mann Government Targets Contract-Based Employment Structure
Addressing the media, Bhagwant Mann said the proposed legislation is intended to provide greater job security and stability to employees working under contractual arrangements in various departments of the Punjab government.
He stated that the government wants to create a more structured employment framework by reducing dependence on temporary and contractual appointments.
AAP Links Move to Employment Commitments
The announcement comes as the ruling Aam Aadmi Party continues to highlight employment generation and government recruitment as key achievements of its administration.
The Punjab government has repeatedly stated that it has provided thousands of government jobs since coming to power and is working to strengthen employment opportunities for youth across the state.
Political Significance Ahead of Future Elections
The announcement also carries political significance as Punjab’s political parties increasingly position themselves ahead of future electoral contests.
AAP leaders have recently described local body election results as public support for the party’s governance model and development-focused agenda.
Focus on Job Security and Welfare
According to the Chief Minister, the proposed bills are aimed at protecting employee interests and ensuring long-term employment security for workers serving under various contractual arrangements in government institutions.
The details of the legislation are expected to be discussed further when the bills are formally introduced in the Punjab Assembly.
