Punjab Govt in worst-ever fiscal crisis

RBI stops payments from Treasury as state slips into ~250 cr overdraft

Chandigarh, March 27
The Punjab Government is facing one of its worst ever financial crisis. The, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), apex regulatory bank, has stopped all payments from the state government Treasury after Punjab slipped into overdraft of Rs 250 crore after availing ways and means advances’ limit of Rs 580 crore.

As a result, a large number of employees of the Education, Health and Animal Husbandry departments, who have been without salary for almost three months now, will have to wait longer till the state government gets enough money to come out of the overdraft and reach the ways and means advance limit. The only bills that have been cleared this month are contingency bills — fuel bills, telephone bills and bills for stamp duty deposited by departments in case of affidavits.

Sources in the state Treasury told The Tribune that through most part of the month, they had “received verbal instructions on not releasing any payments for pending bills”.

Initially there was a strike by the ministerial staff, which led to the delay in payment of most salaries. After the strike got over on March 5, the treasury released salaries on March 6-7 and March 10, following which all payments were stopped.

An official said till March 21, they were releasing contingency payments but all these have stopped as the state crossed the ways and means advance and entered into an overdraft.

Officials in the Finance Department said salaries of most government employees had been released on March 6 and 7. “The salaries of the employees of some departments that had exhausted their budgets for the financial year in November and had failed to seek additional grants from the Finance Department have been delayed. It was only after the Finance Department prepared its revised budget estimates that these departments sought additional funds for salaries. These cannot be released till the Punjab Governor approves the revised budget estimates,” said an official. However, by the time the revised budget estimates were okayed by the Governor, the government had gone into an overdraft.

As such, these employees failed to receive their salaries.

LUDHIANA: The model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections being in force, there will be no shifting of men teachers to boys’ schools and women teachers to girls’ schools from April 1.

Director of public instructions (schools) Kamal Garg on Friday directed all the district education officer of Punjab not to implement the shifting orders. The authorities concerned, however, have written to the election commissioner for permission to shift the 811 teachers.

The latest directions from the DPI (schools) have brought a relief to the shifted teachers, who expect that the authorities now will rethink the decision. “For a proper development of students, both men and women teachers are required in schools,” a government schoolteacher from Ludhiana said on the condition of anonymity.

“Every government school should have co-education rule to prepare children for further education. If any teacher harasses any student, he alone deserves to be punished,” said the teacher.

Another teacher, who also wished not to be named, said dedicated and hardworking teachers should not have to suffer. Many cases of sexual harassment of students have been reported from Ludhiana and Bathinda districts, considering which, the DPI (schools) had issued a letter on January 30 to move 811 teachers from various districts of Punjab. They were required to report to their news schools from April 1.

A Jagraon-based teacher, who was accused of harassing student sexually, was shifted after an inquiry, and in Bathinda also, some teachers were shifted under similar circumstances.

Approached after the transfers were put on hold, state education minister Sikander Singh Maluka said it was because of the election code of conduct. “Moreover, many teachers have requested me not to do the shifting, so we will take a final call after the elections. Till further orders, the teachers who were shifted will work in their respective schools,” he said.
