The Punjab government has reversed a controversial order directing teachers to perform ration card distribution duties, following intervention from the education secretary. The directive had sparked widespread criticism among educators, who argued it would disrupt academic responsibilities and overburden staff. Officials clarified that the decision was made to prioritize teaching and administrative functions without additional workloads. The move comes as schools prepare for the upcoming academic session amid ongoing debates over teacher workloads.
