Kakching, March 04 2020:
Demanding rectification of ROP-2019 for Government school teachers, Council of Teacher's Association continued their relay hunger strike in front of ZEO Kakching office, today.
Speaking to media persons by the sideline of the protest demonstration, All Manipur Elementary School Teachers' Association, (AMESTA) Kakching secretary, Md Basir Ahamad expressed disappointment over the State Government for not fulfiling the demands of the Government teachers till date.
Though COTA comprehends the adverse effect the protest would have on students, teachers continued to protest as the Government paid no heed to their demand, he said and further demanded the State Government to rectify order dated July 11, 2019 and implement 7th Pay for Government teachers in toto.
Saying that their democratic protest will continue till their demand is met, Md Basir cautioned that the teachers might even stage hunger onto death and mass Court arrest in future.
