Ludhiana, April 12

Teachers of LR DAV College, Jagraon, today sat on a protest dharna as the authorities have failed to give them salaries for the past five months.

District president of PCCTU Kuldeep Walia also joined the protesting staff. Speaking on the occasion he said it was sad that the staff was working without salaries for the past five months. “It is very unfortunate that they are not been given salaries from the last five months. They are putting in their hard efforts but are being denied the basic right of their salary,” said Walia.

Professor Parminder Singh said they sat on dharna only during their free periods so that the studies of the students do not suffer, but the authorities were least concerned about their demands. He further said if the authorities did not pay heed to their demands, then they will have no other option but to go on a hunger strike.
