ETT teachers’ protest: Talks with govt fail

Barnala, December 18
Following failure of talks with the Principal Secretary to Punjab Chief Minister yesterday, the Unemployed EGS (ETT) Teachers’ Union decided to continue their agitation till the government accepted their demand for regular appointment.

The number of protesters atop the water works at Cheema village near here has increased to nine.


Union district president Gurjit Singh said that on the assurance of the district administration, members of the union had gone to Chandigarh to meet the Chief Minister yesterday. “In place of the CM, his Principal Secretary met us. The meeting bore no result.”

He said the administration assured the union today that a meeting had been fixed with the CM on January 8. “We have lost faith in the administration and decided to continue the agitation,” Singh said.
