Teachers to observe black day tomorrow

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Sept 3:  Masters of Jammu and Kathua, posted in Chenab Valley and Reasi, are observing Teacher’s Day on September 5 as black day.
In a statement, Kapil Bakshi, who claimed to be leader of these teachers, said that the decision to observe black day has been taken to express resentment against delay in their repatriation to the home districts despite completion of two-year tenure.
The Education Department gave priority to new promoted Masters and adjusted them at choice postings in the Home district ignoring all norms of transfers and pleas of the Masters working in far-flung areas of Chenab Valley and Reasi.
Mr Bakshi also claimed support of People’s Democratic Trade Union and Democratic Teachers Forum.
