JAMMU, Nov 15: Jammu Kashmir Teachers Forum has expressed its serious concern over alleged insensitive attitude of the State Government towards the grievances and genuine demands of the teaching fraternity in J&K.
In a meeting of the Forum, held here today under the chairmanship of general secretary Ganesh Khajuria, the JKTF members highlighted their long pending demands, which include immediate adjustment of all 1193 Masters, who were promoted by the DPC in February 2014, release of salary grant under SSA, RMSA, NPS schemes, timely release of Mid-Day Meal grants and easing out norms for getting permission to undergo higher education by the in-service teachers.
