Imphal, July 19 2014 :
The All Manipur Muslim Teachers Welfare Association today staged a sit-in-protest at WAKF Board near Hatta Kangjeibung demanding clearance of 15 months salary of Madrassa Modernisation teachers before Eid-ul-Fitr.
Speaking to media persons, association president Arshad Ali said that the Madrassa Modernisation has about 150 teachers.
The school was introduced as a scheme under the WAKF Board.
Ali further said that these teachers have not received their remuneration for 15 months.
He, therefore, appealed the State Government to give out the due salary before Eid-ul-Fitr considering the difficulties being faced by the teachers.
He warned the authorities that they would resort to intense agitation in hand with civil society organisations and NGOs in case the Government fails to fulfil their demand.
