Ludhiana, September 23
Following a protest march by teachers on January 22, a meeting was held with the Deputy Commisioner, Rajat Aggarwal. The teachers from SSA, RMSA, and CSS met the DC here today.
The state president of the union, Deedar Singh Mudaki, said, “Teachers have been struggling for their rights. Despite repeated requests, the administration failed to arrange a meeting with the Chief Minister, Punjab. And now we have been told to hold a meeting with the Secretary, Education. It will hardly serve the purpose.”
As many as 14,000 teachers, working under these unions, have been struggling to be regularised for the past five years. The teachers alleged that a notification regarding their regularisation of services had already been issued by the government, but still there was no action on the part of the authorities concerned.
The teachers said they did not want to put the common man in any kind of inconvenience and were holding the protests peacefully, but if the government failed to redress their grievances, the teachers will be forced to intensify the agitation.
