Chandigarh, January 8
Computer teachers of the UT government schools called off their protest after DPI (S) Kamlesh Kumar assured them of taking up all their major demands, including regularisation of services, with the authorities concerned, here today.
The Education Department is also going to increase their salary by 25 per cent. There will also be no deduction of salary during any vacation and the contract will continue without any gap.
The teachers were protesting for the past two weeks. Today, they staged a massive protest at Sector 20, here, in which more than 200 teachers and data entry operators participated. Members of the UT Subordinate Services Federation, Safai Karamchari Union and the UT Cadre Education Employees Union also took part in the protest.
During the course of the rally, a panel of the teachers was called to meet the DPI (S), Kamlesh Kumar, at his office in Sector 9, here.
Swarn Singh Kamboj, president of the UT Cadre Education Employees Union, and office-bearers of other unions were also present.
Kamlesh Kumar said the teachers had three main demands - renewal of contract, hike in salary and regularisation.
“The department has considered all the three demands positively. While the process for the renewal of contract and hike in salary has been initiated, their demand for regularisation will also be taken up positively. A hike of 25 per cent in their salary is already been proposed and the file has sent to the Finance Department for the approval,” he said.
The teachers said they had called off their protest today with the hope that the department would initiate the process for regularisation.
