UDHAMPUR: A monthly meeting of All J and K ReT Teachers Forum was held at Krishna Palace Udhampur on Sunday under the chairmanship of state President Vinod Sharma and District President Lekh Raj Parihar. The meeting was attended by a large number of delegates from all the eleven zones of district Udhampur.
While speaking on the occasion Vinod Sharma showed strong resentment against the callous approach of the Education Department to resolve their issues like streamline of SSA salary which is still pending for four to five months and these thousands of SSA teachers are forced to celebrate the Holy festival of Eid without salary and their family members are suffering badly which is a matter of great concern. He also sought regularisation of ReT teachers whose files are lying in the Office of Director School Education Jammu for a long time.
He also showed his resentment against the statement of Education Minister on the floor of House that ReTs have been transferred unauthorisedly and they will be sent back to their posts. He said that these transfers are done vide Govt. Order no. 469, then how these be considered unauthorised.
He appealed to the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister to personally intervene in this matter as ReT cadre has been defamed and harassed by the Education Department in the name of screening test and other issues and not to force thousands of ReT teachers of the State to come on the roads.
Others who also spoke in the meeting were- Sukhdev Singh, Sham Sharma, Ashok seth, Pritam Goswami, Chain singh, Balbinder singh, Anil Sharma, Mohd. Mustafa and Sandeep Sharma.
