JAMMU, Dec 29: Rehbar-e-Khel (ReK) physical education teachers took out a ‘Shav Yatra’ of the Rehbar-e-Khel policy from BJP Headquarter to Railway Station via Trikuta Nagar and culminated again outside BJP Headquarter, here today.
“For the last 10 days, we have been protesting against the de-freezing of posts by the LG Administration which were freezed by Government for the ReK Physical Education Teachers during framing the policy but no written order or no Govt official to come here for redressing their issues so far,” alleged protestors.
President Jammu Kashmir Rehbar-e-Khel Teachers Association, Dheeraj Salaria said that they will continue their protest till their legitimate demands are not fulfilled. “Rehbar-e-Khel teachers continued their sit-in protest outside the BJP Headquarter Trikuta Nagar Jammu to remind the promise made by LG Manoj Sinha with our delegation at Raj Bhawan Srinagar in May 29,” he added.
BJP president Ravinder Raina had framed a committee to resolve the issues of ReK, but the committee has not submitted its final report till date which exposed the BJP commitment towards ReK teachers, said Salaria.
They were demanding reduction of their probation period from the seven years to five years, freezing of the posts and enhancement of the salary at par with Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers. “Recently, the LG administration has directed the department to implement the order of de-freezing of the posts which is against the policy and Cabinet order of Rehbar-e-Khel teachers under which they were engaged in the department,” they said.
