Non-permanent teachers end sit-in outside PSEB

Mohali, September 8

Members of the Contractual Teachers’ Union ended their 85-day sit-in outside the office of Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) and the Education Department in Phase 8 after the Punjab Government acceded to some of their demands.

The officials said initially, 8,393 posts would be filled and after that the remaining 5,000 teachers would be accommodated.

The teachers, who had been camping on the roof of the building for the past 85 days, came down. However, their demonstration would continue peacefully till all teachers are regularised. On June 16, temporary, non-permanent and ad hoc teachers unions began a dharna demanding regularisation of service and a hike in salary. — TNS
