Punjab's Education Department has come under fire after it was revealed that 84 teachers in Jalandhar have been slapped with a salary freeze for allegedly skipping their assigned duties related to a statewide survey on drug abuse. The survey, aimed at identifying and addressing the growing problem of substance abuse among students, was launched by the state government last year. However, it appears that some teachers failed to take their responsibilities seriously, with many either not reporting for duty or not completing their assigned tasks. The salary freeze is a stern measure taken by the authorities to ensure that teachers take their duties seriously and contribute to the government's efforts to combat the scourge of drug abuse in the state.
