Unaided school teachers beat drums, stage protest

Bathinda, December 30
Members of the union of Unaided Staff (aided schools) Front, Punjab, led by block president, today beat drums and staged a dharna in the ward of Bathinda MLA (Rural) Darshan Singh Kotfatta.

Braving the cold weather, the teachers raised banners stating ‘Lok jagao, aided schools bachao’. Addressing the teachers, the leaders accused the state government and the education department of giving a step-motherly treatment to the schools and hence, the teachers felt the need of making the public aware of the importance of the schools and how the government was neglecting them.


The teachers also alleged that the state government was trying very hard to shut these schools down but the union will not allow to happen this as the aided schools are catering to children belonging to financially weak families.

The teachers also threatened to stage a protest and disrupt traffic movement in the city on January 5 in case the administration fails to fix a meeting between the union members and Chief Minister of Punjab, Parkash Singh Badal till January 8.t
