Vinod Sharma expressed strong resentment against the Government for its alleged callous approach to resolve their burning issues. He lamented that ReT Teachers under SSA are without salary for last 4 to 6 months and their family members are on the verge of starvation whereas despite repeated requests, their salary has not been released by the Government.

He also demanded the regularization of KGBV Teachers and release of Mid Day Meals dues, which are pending for the last one and half years.
The ReT Forum leaders threatened to hold massive protests through out the State if their pending SSA salary is not released before Eid.
