Tehsildars across Punjab called off their strike today after a warning from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. On Monday, all tehsildars had taken collective leave in protest against the vigilance raids. Taking serious note of the situation, CM Mann had granted special powers to other employees and officers in the revenue department to handle registrations, and several tehsildars were suspended.
Meanwhile, the president of the Punjab Revenue Officers Association sent a message to fellow tehsildars in their WhatsApp group, informing them that Deputy Commissioners across Punjab had issued directives to maintain law and order in light of the ongoing farmers' sit-ins. As a result, the tehsildars decided to withdraw their collective leave.
