TURA: The All Garo Hills SSA School Teachers’ Association (AGHSSASTA) has given the state government time till November 10 to fulfill their many long-standing demands.
In a memorandum addressed to Education Minister, Deborah C Marak, the association warned that it would be compelled to resort to democratic agitation if their demands remain unheeded by the expiry of the deadline.
Some of the many demands of the association include immediate release of pending teachers’ arrears from the year 2016-17, regular and monthly payment of their salaries and its release through personal accounts.
While the teachers under different bodies have been making the same demands repeatedly in the past, response from the government’s side has so far been completely zero prompting them to pursue the matter again and again.
