 SHILLONG: Teaching and non-teaching staff of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) will wear black badges on Thursday and Friday and also hold a pen down, tool down and chalk down strike on Friday to pressurize the Vice-Chancellor to honour the agreement signed between him and members of the JAC (consisting of both teaching and non teaching staff) with regards to payment of Hills Area Special Allowance (HASA) to NEHU employees.

The decision to hold the agitational programme was taken at the general assembly of the employees of NEHU here on Wednesday that discussed about the recent letters received from the Ministry of Human Resources Development on HASA that threatened to withhold some grants due to NEHU for 2013-14.

According to JAC spokesperson SB Prasad, the general assembly also demanded that the Vice-Chancellor should honour the agreement signed between him and the members of the JAC on May 17 in letter and spirit.

The general assembly endorsed the resolution adopted in the meeting of JAC with the Vice-Chancellor and it was strongly expressed that it is the moral duty of the Vice-Chancellor to honour the resolution taken in the meeting on May 17 in which it was agreed that no agenda item, reporting item, letters and information related with HASA will be placed in the Academic Council.

The general assembly also decided that no letter, which in any way relates to HASA, should be brought to the Academic Council meeting scheduled on May 31.
