Imphal, March 08, 2014:
All Manipur Elementary School Teachers' Association (AMESTA) has called off its fast unto death stir temporarily following an assurance given by the Education Minister that the government will look into their demand of Requisite Qualification/Higher Scale.
Announcing this at a press meet at its head office at Khoyathong, Ch Santakumar Singh, general secretary of AMESTA, appreciated the Education Minister and other concerned authorities for holding DPC for 175 teachers who are yet to receive their salaries for the last one and half year by forming High Level Committee.
However, rally and hunger strike stir will continue until DPC for altogether 1611 teachers is conducted.
Family members of pensioners who are yet to get their pension amount for the last two years will also take part in the stir, he added.
