Imphal, July 21, 2010:
Lecturers of different colleges under Federation of College Teachers' Association Manipur (FECTAM) today staged a sit-in-protest today at Singjamei Chingamakhong.
They were demanding the government to implement the revised UGC pay scale and lengthen their service period.
The convener of FECTAM, M Lokendra said that FECTAM have been organising the protest registering a strong protest against government failure to implement their long pending demands even though they had submitted a number of memoranda to the Chief Minister and Education Minister.
Many rounds of discussions had held on the matter.
But government failed to implement their teachers' demands, he said adding that the sit-in-protest was staged against the apathy of the state government towards the college teachers.
The convener added that the protest will continue until the government concedes to their demands.
