X
The Punjab Government which hit the headlines for giving liquor duty to the teachers has once again landed itself in the news for deploying government teachers to stop illegal sand mining.

The state government deployed around 40 government teachers to counter the illegal sand mining. These teachers will be posted at notable checkpoints at Phagwara city. Teachers will be accompanied by the police.

Teachers will render their services at the checkpoints from 9 PM to 1 PM. The government backed the move and said that they opted for this to counter the illegal sand mafia.

However, the opposition lashed out at the government for deploying teachers at the checkpoints to stop the illegal sand mafia.

The Punjab Government subjected to severe criticism for deploying 24 teachers at the liquor factories to monitor the alcohol supply. However, the government recovered the order.
