Chandigarh, March 22, 2026 — Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has announced that newly recruited government doctors and teachers will have to serve a mandatory two-year tenure in border areas, with incentives to be provided for such postings.
The move is aimed at strengthening healthcare and education services in border districts, which have long faced staff shortages.
In addition, the Chief Minister said that the Punjab government will soon launch a pilot underground wiring project, which will begin from his native village, Satoj, in Sangrur district.
