RAJOURI : ReT teachers of Thannamandi Zone who resorted to pen down strike on Monday in support of their demands, have threatened the department to launch a lock-out in all middle and primary schools if the government does not accede to their demands within a week’s time.
The State Secretary Jammu and Kashmir Rehbar-e-Taleem Teachers Forum Jehangir Khan said that the teachers who have completed five years of service, have not been regularised nor their pending salaries have been paid. He said that in response to 36 hours long hunger strike at Srinagar, it was assured that their demands will be acceded to soon but no action has been taken in this direction.
