Imphal, November 02 2011:
In pursuit of its two point demand related to payment of minimum basic pay and regularisation of service, All Manipur Government Higher Secondary School Part-time Lecturers' Association today declared launch of ceasework strike with effect from November 3 .
Making the announcement at Manipur Press Club today, Association president Md Zahur said 346 higher secondary part-time lecturers in service for the last 15 years are being denied minimum basic pay in addition to non-fulfilment of repeated demand for regularisation of service.
While service rendered by the part-time lecturers fulfilling service rules and regulations (qualification) is compatible to those of the regular staff members of Government higher secondaries, wide disparity in the scale of pay for such a long period deserve positive redressal measure from the side of the Government of Manipur, maintained the Association president who also asserted that more intense agitation would be launched in case of failure to honour the demands.
