Teachers seek regular jobs

Ludhiana, June 20

The Government School Teachers’ Union, Punjab, today raised slogans against the state government for failing to regularise the services of contractual teachers.

The members of the union said the union strongly condemned the state government’s stubborn attitude towards contractual teachers.

Leaders of the union said contractual teachers had been in the department for past 15 years but the state government had not formulated any policy to regularise their services. “The state government is constantly turning a blind eye while contractual teachers have been working on a meagre salary of Rs6,000 per month. If services are not regularised, we will intensify the stir,” members said. — TNS
