Punjab government has been delaying implementation of the sixth pay commission for a long time, they added.

The strike is expected to have an impact on the procurement season, as PUNSUP employees across the state have gone on strike and they have stated that the strike will continue until the Punjab government implements the Sixth Pay Commission.
