Patiala: 14 May 2025- Today, the legitimate demands of the workers working under the Punjab Forest Department were seriously considered. The district president of the organization, Mr. Virpal Singh and state president Balbir Singh Mandoli said that the salaries of many workers have been withheld from the hardworking workers since January 25. All the workers have not been paid salaries since April. 
Many workers have exceeded their life span in the department and are not being paid salaries illegally because they are over 60 years of age. Departmental workers are still working today.
