UT Computer teachers hold protest

Chandigarh, December 21
Computer teachers working for the UT Education Department today cleaned roads in front of the Masjid ground in Sector 20 to mark a symbolic protest against the department.

Several protesters, who were holding broomsticks in their hands, cleaned the road to show their resentment against the department’s indifference towards their pending issues, including pay hike as well as timely payment of their salaries. Besides, the computer teachers are
demanding regularisation of jobs according to the Punjab Service Rules.

One of the computer teachers said recently, the Punjab Government regularised all the computer teachers and since Chandigarh follows the Punjab service rules, it should also initiate process to regularise them.

The computer teachers will also hold a candlelight march on December 23 at Sector 17 Plaza. They said they would continue their fight till they don’t get justice. They alleged that even as they had been working in the department for the last several years, their salaries were far less than what contractual teachers had been getting.

There are around 200 computer teachers working in the Education Department.
