Punjab High Court Bars Ad Campaigns Until Employee Dues Cleared

The Punjab High Court said the state cannot spend money on big advertising until it pays its workers the money it owes them.

The court also said a plan that would pay some pensioners first was unfair.

The ruling is a big win for workers who want their money.

The state’s main political party, the AAP, is now under pressure.

The BJP, the opposition, says the government is wasting money on ads instead of paying staff.

The court’s order could force the state to change its plans or go to the Supreme Court.

Workers and pensioners hope the state will follow the court’s direction.

The decision shows how courts can check government spending.

It also shows the tension between the ruling party and the opposition.

The case is still being watched by many people in Punjab.
