Seeking regularisation, SSA teachers hold protest in J-K

Teachers working under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) today held a protest here demanding regularisation of their jobs and release of pending salaries.

Observing a 'black day', hundreds of teachers assembled at Pratap Park on Residency Road soon after Eid prayers and raised slogans pressing for their demands.

The teachers accused the government of trying to mislead them by claiming that pending salaries were released.

"The money released before Eid was just one month's salary. The government should disburse all pending wages and regularise us or we will launch an agitation," a protestor said.
