Jobless teachers stage protest in Kharar

Mohali, December 3

Unruly scenes were witnessed near Punjab CM Charanjit Channi’s residence in Kharar when unemployed ETT (TET)-qualified teachers clashed with the police.

The protesters crossed two barricades following which the police used mild lathicharge. The protesters staged a dharna near the third barricade.

Union’s state president Deepak Kamboj said eight protesters suffered injuries during the clash with the police. Param Fazilka and Aman Fazilka have been protesting atop a water tank near Sohana for the past 43 days. Their health is deteriorating but the Punjab Government is showing no sympathy towards the unemployed teachers. — TNS
