Chandigarh, August 3: As a cost-cutting measure, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has approved reducing the number of members of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) from 10 to 5. Giving details, the Chief Minister stated that there are currently ten members whose salaries, perks, and other emoluments put an unfair burden on the state exchequer. Bhagwant Mann stated that the reduction is being done to make the Commission's functions more cost-effective. Given these concerns, the Chief Minister stated that the current number of these members will be reduced by half. He said that this will help to streamline the Commission's operations while also saving a significant amount of money for taxpayers. According to Bhagwant Mann, the state government expects to save a significant amount of money by making this move.
