Guest teachers protest against AAP govt over salary increment

Scores of guest teachers today staged a protest against AAP government outside North Delhi's Chhatarsal Stadium after they got upset with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for not making any "new announcement" on increment in their salaries.
The agitating teachers blocked the Ring Road leading to Chhatarsal Stadium where an event was organised by the Delhi government to encourage the guest teachers to perform better.
Last week, the Kejriwal government had proposed to increase the salaries of guest teachers by up to 90 per cent and the file pertaining to the matter was sent to Lt Governor Najeeb Jung for his approval.

A section of the teachers stood from their seats and started leaving when the Chief Minister started addressing the teachers.
Some of them got agitated when Chief Minister apprised them that file relating to increment in their salaries is pending with the LG office.
"We are just being assured by the government for a long time that salaries of guest teachers will soon be increased. Government just makes announcements, but doesn't implement them," a teacher said.
