The online transfer portal experienced technical difficulties, with many teachers reporting that the link was down. Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat acknowledged the issue, explaining that the system became overwhelmed by the sheer number of simultaneous applications.

Minister Hayat assured teachers that the online application link would be restored today with the assistance of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). He reassured all teachers that they would have the opportunity to apply for transfers before the deadline. – INP
