Mohali, November 20
Hundreds of commuters were put to a lot of inconvenience when members of the Government School Lecturers Union blocked the traffic on Phase VII road near YPS Chowk this evening.
The protestors, who were intending to move towards Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal's residence at Chandigarh, sat on the road after being stopped by the police near the chowk.
Adding insult to injury, traffic flow on several roads in the area was already prevented by the Chandigarh Police in wake of the demolition at the Colony Number 5.
Earlier, the lecturers held a protest in front of Director General School Education's office at Phase VIII in the afternoon and then started their protest march on the Mohali roads at around 3.30 pm. The main demand of the protestors was amendment in the Service Rules 2004 before December 31 and verification of experience certificates of head teachers, who had been recruited directly in 2006 and later elevated to principals.
The dharna near the YPS chowk was lifted on assurance of arranging meeting with Badal by the Principal Secretary Gurkirat Kirpal Singh.
Meanwhile, most of the roads in the area were witnessing long queues of vehicles. The police had a tough time to handle the situation.
