As the indefinite fast by para- teachers in West Bengal demanding a hike in their salary entered the eighth day on Friday, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar appealed to all sides to initiate a dialogue for resolving the issue.
"@MamataOfficial. I appeal all sides for dialogue at the highest level as over 1000 para-teachers are on a sit-in since November 11 and 37 of them are on an indefinite fast from Friday," he tweeted.
Referring to the death of para-teacher Revati Raut in West Midnapore district on Thursday, Dhankhar tweeted, "Reported death of Revati Raut, in West Midnapore and illness of others worrisome."
