PTC News Desk: The Punjab government is expected to table eight bills in the house on the final day of the Punjab Assembly Monsoon session. These include the Punjab Common Infrastructure (Amendment) Bill, the Un-Aided Educational Institutions Fee (Amendment) Bill aimed at curbing arbitrary fee hikes in schools, and the Punjab State Outsourced Personnel Bill.
The bill related to outsourced employees proposes bringing around 65,000 outsourced workers under the Punjab government on a contractual basis, taking them out of the existing outsourcing and contractual arrangement.
The final day of the session is also expected to witness heated exchanges with the Opposition demanding an extension of the Assembly's sitting hours.
The Congress remained particularly aggressive throughout this session. Congress MLAs arrived at the Assembly wearing black turbans and raised several issues concerning Punjab, targeting the state government. Meanwhile, the government also moved a resolution against the BJP-led central government.
Meanwhile the Assembly also witnessed heated exchanges over the AAP government's proposed anti-sacrilege law. During zero-hour, Ganieve Kaur Majithia from Majitha constituency strongly criticised the government over the law and questioned that why amendments were not made to the "controversial clauses" in the Jaagat Jot Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar (Amendment) Act, 2026.
