Chowkidara System Reforms Ordered by Board of Revenue Punjab–New Notification

Chowkidar Vacancies to Be Prioritized – Stay Informed with Latest Government Notifications:

The Board of Revenue Punjab’s Notification is a much-needed step to reform the long-overlooked Chowkidara System. By making timely salary payments mandatory and addressing the pending vacancies, the government is reinforcing the importance of local law enforcement in rural areas of Punjab. These village chowkidars play a critical role in reporting crimes, maintaining order, and serving as the frontline eyes and ears for the administration.
