Chandigarh admin concedes to take recruitment test for JBT teachers in Punjabi medium after intervention by SAD

Chandigarh, Nov 29 (UNI) The Chandigarh administration has offered the choice of Punjabi medium to the aspiring JBT candidates in its latest recruitment drive for hiring 418 JBT teachers for the schools across the Union Territory after this issue was raised by the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), terming it a step-motherly treatment to the Punjabi, an official language of Punjab in its own capital Chandigarh.
In a statement here on Thursday, SAD Senior Vice–president Dr Daljeet Singh Cheema said that earlier Chandigarh administration had put an advertisement in newspapers for hiring of 418 JBT teachers for the UT schools which announced that the recruitment test to be taken only in English and Hindi. The SAD-BJP strongly objected to this decision and a high level delegation of the SAD-BJP led by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal protested against it by submitting a memorandum to the Punjab Governor on October 16. “The SAD-BJP delegation termed it a ‘sheer discrimination with Punjabi language’ a mother-tongue of the people of the Punjab in its own capital, Chandigarh” he added.
He said that rectifying its previous error, the Chandigarh administration has come up with an amended advertisement for recruitment of JBT teachers for the UT schools, which makes it categorically clear that the aspiring candidates can choose the Punjabi language as a medium for the recruitment test.
