Pritam Singh, President, Dr. BR Ambedkar Welfare Trust, while addressing a press conference said that in the meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary,Punjab the 97 officers as Agriculture Development Officers, 30 Agriculture Officers as Deputy Director and 144 officers as Agriculture Sub Inspectors were promoted.

He said that all these promotions were made on the basis of merit cum seniority. The government has not given the benefit of reservation to the officers of the Scheduled Caste category while giving these promotions.  During the entire process, the roaster has not been followed as per the instructions of the Social Welfare Department.

He continued by doing so, the rights of the officers and employees of the scheduled classes have been violated. The Punjab Government is making claims day by day for the implementation of the 85th Amendment to the Constitution, but the rules of reservation are not being followed at the time of departmental promotions.

Pritam Singh said that the Punjab government is ready to give the benefit of reservation to the Dalit officers but some officers are failing the agenda of the government. He said that in the promotion given in the Agriculture Department, the disabled persons belonging to Scheduled Castes have also been deprived of benefits. He said that a letter has been written to Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi regarding this entire episode. Very soon the officials of the trust will also meet the Chief Minister regarding the problem of Dalit officers and employees.

By Tricitynews Reporter

Chandigarh, Oct.07, 2021:- The first teaser poster for Indian television’s popular couple, Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary starrer 'Shabana' is here! Ullu Originals has managed a casting coup by getting this much-admired couple together on screen for the first time in their upcoming web-series, titled ‘Shabana’.

Along with veteran actor Anil George and the dashing Rahul Dev, the cast have prepped themselves to get into the skin of the character. Ullu has unveiled a fascinating teaser poster for the drama. The teaser poster showcases a stark contrast to what audiences have seen the star couple as. It reveals Prince and Yuvika as two simple, homely, completely deglamourized and yet look like two young people who are happy just sitting beside each other. The smile on their faces is captivating as also the characters writ large over their faces that relate to the common man. Several shades darker, Prince has a rustic ruggedness on his face and Yuvika complements him beautifully with her innocence and charm. 

Unveiling the first teaser poster of 'Shabana', Ullu Digital Pvt Ltd, CEO, Vibhu Agrawal, said that this series titled 'Shabana' is one that our team at Ullu has been painstakingly developing for awhile and we are delighted to share its first look. Right from its story to its casting to its first teaser poster, it's going to create curiosity and make the industry and audiences alike take notice. Signing Prince Narula and Yuvika Chaudhary was a deliberate decision as they both have a youthful, well-established modern persona and to first, give them a compelling narrative like 'Shabana' that will be their debut in a web-series together and also break their image to look like two simple, homely, unsophisticated peasants was challenging and satisfying to create! You can't help looking at them again in this poster as they've portrayed such an arresting image of the characters they enact on the show. We are also pleased to bring on board veteran actors Anil George and Rahul Dev. The casting and the story is indeed one to watch out for. 

Prince and his lady-love, Yuvika, have released a joint statement, saying that this is the first time that we are featuring in a web-series together. Initially when the talent firm approached us for this project, we refused it because of our prior commitments. But, after hearing the story, we were so convinced that we decided to move out of few other projects to do this. We also had to take a few workshops at short notice so that we could give our best performance and connect to the character. It's our first together with Ullu Originals and the entire team of this project is extremely hardworking and we are all together striving hard to deliver a good product. We are excited about the characters that we will portray. We hope our fans will continue to support and love us as we hope to surprise them with ‘Shabana’.

Produced by Nikhil Khera and directed by Abhijeet Das, 'Shabana' is scheduled to premiere soon.
