Bathinda, January 7
Members of the 7654 Sanjha Front Teachers Union, Punjab, today participated in a meeting convened at the Teachers’ Home here under the leadership of district president of the union, Shapinder Singh Brar.
Union members were assigned duties for dharna that the union is planning to organise in Mohali on January 11. Addressing the gathering, leaders of the union stated that despite the fact that the government had not paid the salaries of the teachers for the past three years, it was still retracting from its assurance that the jobs of the teachers will be regularised from April 2014.
The leaders also stated that a deputation of the union had met the Chief Minister of Punjab, Parkash Singh Badal, Education Minister of Punjab, Sikander Singh Maluka, and Principal Secretary (school education), Anjali Bhawra. They added that during the meeting, the District Education Officers had been asked to submit the files of the teachers with the education department and the teachers were assured that the process of regularisation of their jobs will start soon but now the government was stepping back from its promise.
Present during the meeting were Dr Ranjodh Singh, Maninderjit Singh, Parwinder Singh, Ajaib Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Lakhwinder Singh and others.
Meanwhile, members of the SSA/RMSA/CSS Teachers Union, Punjab, also convened a meeting here today during which they chalked out their plan of action for the demonstration that the union is planning to hold in Moga on January 11 and in Bathinda on January 16.
Raising slogans against the state government, the teachers accused the state government of turning a blind eye towards their needs and failing to heed their demands.
