Jalandhar, January 30
In protest against the misbehaviour of the police with members of the Government School Lecturer Union Punjab, during a dharna at Chandigarh, the lecturers in the district took mass causal leave and expressed their anger through a dharna and protest.
The Jalandhar unit of the union demanded that the headmasters’ DPC for the year be done after amendments in the 2004 service rules. They said if the headmasters were promoted as principals without the said amendments, then the dharna will be intensified.
As per Service Rules 2004, the eligibility quota for lecturers was 55 per cent, for vocational masters was 15 per cent and for headmasters was 30 per cent. The union now demands that their number of post being the highest, their quota should be increased.
The current number of lecturers is a about 12,000, vocational masters is 1,500 and of headmasters is 450. Hence, it is being demanded that eligibility quota for promotions should ideally be 81 per cent for lecturers, 10 to 11 per cent for vocational masters and 10 per cent for headmasters as per their numbers.
It is thus being demanded that the promotional lists to be released after the ongoing departmental promotion committee meetings should be based on the proposed quota and not the 2004 service rules recommendations.
Lecturers held mass casual leave today and threaten to boycott exams if their demands are not met.
