Muktsar, December 6
The strike by employees of the District Administrative Complexes (DAC) across the state has put some job aspirants, who need new Punjab residence certificates for their counselling, in a fix.
The Punjab Subordinate Service Selection Board (PSSSB) has asked them to produce domicile certificates, which must be less than five years old, for the counselling scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.

With employees in the DC offices on strike, candidates demand that the counselling be postponed.
They have applied for the posts of excise and taxation inspector, block-level extension officer and senior industrial promotion officer.
One of the candidates, who did not wish to be named, said: “Isn’t the state government aware that employees in the DC offices have been on strike since November 23? Some candidates like me cannot get a new certificate because of the strike. Therefore, the counselling must be postponed.”
A protesting employee said, “The residence certificates are issued by the tehsildar. The strike will continue till December 8. If the government does not fulfil our demands by then, we may extend the strike.”
