UT Computer teachers meet Pawan Bansal

Chandigarh, January 5
Computer teachers today called on Chandigarh MP Pawan Kumar Bansal to discuss their demands.

The teachers said the MP assured them of taking up their matter for increment in salary as well as regularisation of their services according to the Punjab Policy. He also told the teachers that no one could expel them from their current job.


Swarn Singh Kamboj, president of the UT Cadre Education Employees Union, was also present along with the computer teachers.

The teachers said they would hold a rally on January 8, along with the UT Subordinate Services Federation, UT Cadre Education Employees Union, Safai Karamchari Union, Chandigarh, and the CTU Employees Union.

More than 70 computer teachers and data entry operators gathered at the Masjid Ground, Sector 20, today. Five of them also sat for day-long hunger strike.

They said low wages forced them to take such extremes steps. A teacher said: “We gave several representations to the department, but it failed to solve our issues. We will sit for dharna till the time we are not paid on the basis of equal work and equal pay.”
