"The 'pen down' agitation the university and collegiate teachers are scheduled to start from Monday stands withdrawn," Prof. Dr. Pravin Raghuwanshi, President of NUTA and executive member of MFUCTO told PTI.
He said the decision was taken in the MFUCTO meeting held at Mumbai today wherein it was decided to "grant some time" to the minister in view of his "positive approach" towards addressing the demands of teachers.
