Guest lecturers received a shot in the arm after student leaders and constituents of Samyukt Kisan Morcha extended their support to educators protesting at Government College, Karamsar (Rara Sahib), near here today.

Elated after receiving support from other organisations, activists of the guest faculty teachers’ union, led by Prof Jasvir Kaur Ghudani, announced to intensify their stir in case the government fails to give written assurance to secure their jobs.

Jasvir Kaur Ghudani said Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Education Minister Pargat Singh were giving ‘lollipops’ to the teachers who had been protesting here for the past 31 days.

The teachers demanded that the government should fix quota for the youth of the state before starting any process for fresh recruitments. A protest march was also organised.
