Karnal, April 29
Demanding same wages for similar work, hundreds of guest teachers held a state-level rally here on Sunday. They planned to gherao the Chief Minister’s camp office, but after an assurance from officials, they dropped the move.
Guest teacher Maina Yadav, widow of ITBP Jawan Balwant Yadav from Mahendragarh who got her head tonsured on February 11, went on indefinite fast. She alleged that their demand was not met even two months after an assurance by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
“I got my head tonsured on February 11 in support of the demand of regularisation of 15,000 guest teachers and same wages for same work. We were given an assurance on February 17. A senior IAS officer was appointed for submitting a report. Despite submission of the report, no action has been initiated so far for fulfilling this demand,” she said. “I will continue my fast for our demands,” she said.
Guest teacher Pushpa Sharma said the government had failed to fulfil its promise that they would be given same salary for the same work. She said the senior IAS officer submitted his report on March 16 in support of their demand, but the government was not taking the issue seriously, forcing thousands of guest teachers to protest. — TNS
