Three members of Demand Committee for the Promotion/Upgradation of Undergraduate/Primary Teachers to Graduate Post have started staging a fast unto death stir at Sagolband Moirang Leirak Machin from today.
The committee has been demanding upgradation of Undergraduate and Primary teachers to Graduate posts.

Committee General Secretary T Khogendro said that around 600 Primary teachers have been urging the Government to promote them to Graduate posts since 2007 .
As the their plea has not been heard by the Government till date, the committee decided to stage fast unto death stir, Khogendro added.
Although, the Government had conducted a DPC on November 18 for the said purpose, results for the same have not been declared till date, he added.
The ongoing agitation would continue till the teachers are upgraded to Graduate posts by declaring the DPC results, he added.
