Imphal, October 14 2011:
An emergency general body meeting of Council of Teachers' Association (COTA) held at CC Higher Secondary School here today has given the go ahead signal to all the teachers in the Government schools from primary level to Higher Secondary level to resume agitation including cease work strike with effect from October 25 .
In today's meeting, the aggrieved teachers expressed strong reservation over the failure of the Government to implement the assurance given over their demand for implementation of Central 6th Pay recommendations in toto among others, according to a statement issued by Convenor Publicity of COTA S Gunamani.
All those who spoke at the meeting decried deprivation of their rights and wondered how could the Principal Secretary/Commissioner Finance issued order quite contrary to the decision taken by Cabinet Ministers.
The teachers are not in favour of taking recourse to any agitation that could impair the academic career of the students, but have been compelled, Gunamani said.
