“But in absence of Transfer policy, thousands of these teachers including females are suffering badly,” he said and demanded immediate inclusion of these teachers in the ATD. He said that ignoring teachers appointed under ReT scheme in ATD shows step motherly treatment to these teachers as they are working in the same schools in far flung areas for the last more than 20 years and have opened the closed schools during militancy when General Line Teachers hesitated to serve there .
