JAMMU, June 25: Jammu and Kashmir Teachers Forum (JKTF) held a protest demonstration and demanded release of salary grants of SSA/RMSA teachers and masters.
Large number of teachers/masters assembled outside Press Club under the leadership of State general secretary of JKTF Ganesh Khajuria and raised slogans in favour of their demands.
The protestors said that the teachers working under SSA/RMSA are at the verge of starvation as they have not got their salary for the last six months. Ever since the start of SSA/RMSA Schemes the teachers are facing a lot of problems and the officials at the helm of affairs particularly of the Directorate of SSA/RMSA are wholly responsible for the sad state of affairs, they added.
They further stated that the delay in the release has caused a great resentment among the teaching community, who have lost their patience and been forced to come on the roads for the redressal of their just and genuine demands.
The leaders served an ultimatum to the Director SSA/RMSA Jammu to release the grant within ten days otherwise JKTF would be forced to launch an agitation for the fulfillment of their demands.
They also appealed to the Chief Minister to personally intervene in the matter so that the teachers working under SSA/RMSA could be saved from further harassment.
Among others present were Rajinder Gupta, Satish Dutta, Gopal Singh, Surat Singh Toofani, Raj Singh, Lalita Sharma, Darshan Sharma, Ravinder Singh, Yashpaul Sharma, Ganesh Sharma, Subhash Singh, Davinder Singh, Baljit Singh, Surinder Choudhary, etc.
