Addressing a large crowd at the protest, the joint front leaders stated that the Punjab government should increase the wages of honorary workers, make contractual employees permanent and restore the old pension scheme.
The leaders of the front alleged that before the assembly elections, finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema had promised to accept their demands, but the government is now backing down.
