Though the Punjab Cabinet yesterday approved the regularization of 5178 teachers and 650 nurses, the Chief Minister felt it was necessary to have a holistic and wide-ranging policy on board to deal with the problem of the 51000-odd contractual employees, whom the previous regime had failed to regularize. Given the tight fiscal situation it had inherited from the previous government, his government was forced to delay the regularization of these employees till things improved on the fiscal front.
