Imphal, October 30 2011:
Council of Teachers' Association (COTA) has categorically asserted that it is the ruling SPF government which has compelled the teachers working in Primary to Higher Secondary School level to go on ceasework strike since October 27 .
In a statement, Convenor Publicity of COTA S Gunamani Singh said that contrary to the assurance given, the government has not issued any order to the effect of implementing the 6th Central Revised Pay to the deserving teachers even after eight months, thus compelling them to take the decision of launching ceasework strike.
Several rounds of meetings have been held and numerous representations have been submitted over the years.
But the government has remained indifferent to the plights of the teachers, although the 6th Central Revised Pay for employees in other government departments has already been effected, COTA rued.
