Unemployed PT Union Protests Joblessness, Threatens Self-Immolation
Imagine a group of people who trained to be gym teachers in primary schools, but the government hasn't opened the job application website yet.
These people, called the PTI Union, are very upset.
They climbed on top of a water tower with gasoline, threatening to set themselves on fire because the government promised jobs but hasn't let them apply.
They've been waiting since 2021, and other teachers have already been hired, but not them.
The union says the government promised the website would be open by May 7th.
Now, they are threatening more protests if the website isn't launched soon.
Unemployed PTI Union members protested by climbing a water tank in Ludhiana.
They threatened to self-immolate with petrol due to delayed job recruitment.
The protest was against the government's failure to launch a promised recruitment portal.
The PTI Union has been waiting for the portal since announcements in December 2021.
The union threatened statewide protests if the portal isn't launched immediately.
