The delegation apprised the Principal Secretary of resentment among I/C lecturers because of unnecessary delay in their regularisation in Science stream, including those I/C lecturers who have acquired their PG degrees through distance mode and fulfill the conditions as laid down in Govt Order No.940-Edu of 2017 dated 17.11.2017 and SRO-339 of 2005.
