“Muneer Ahmed, a teacher from Bonyar Uri and Bakir Ali from zone Sumbal of Bandipora died due to cancer and mental stress. Regularization orders and salaries of teachers are pending from last two years in the office of Director School Education Kashmir. Unwarranted delay in release of orders and pending salaries has forced them to come on roads again because teachers are in the verge of starvation,” he added. He said that despite of repeated requests, concerned department is not issuing the orders in favour of teachers who are working and serving the department from years.
