As per the notification of the Finance Department of the state issued on January 2, 2013, the Punjab Government had decided to release the pay arrears in three instalments comprising 30 per cent, 30 per cent, and 40 per cent, respectively, on January 31, February 28, and March 31, 2013.

The Democratic Teachers Front condemned the alleged discrimination done by the state government against the university teachers of the state in terms of payment of arrears.
