JAMMU, Feb 17: Employees Joint Action Committee led by Abdul Qayoom Wani has said that delay in the regularization of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalyas (KGBV) teachers is most unfair and unjustified.
In an emergency meeting of Employees Joint Action Committee, held here under the leadership State president Abdul Qayoom Wani, the members expressed serious concern over the hunger strike launched by lady teachers of these schools at Press Club Jammu. They are demanding their regularization since long.
All the senior members in the meeting expressed their strong resentment against the delay in regularizing KGBV teachers appointed in 2005 on the analogy of RET pattern but despite more than 10 years service their regularization process has been put at halt for unknown reasons. They said nearly 800 teachers for 90 such schools were appointed by the Union Government across the State in 2005 but hardly 90 of them have been regularized so far on pick and chose basis. The others are protesting for long.
After the strong protest, the KGBV teachers in 2015 were assured by the then Education Minister and Commissioner Secretary Education that all of them will be regularised within one month but nothing happened. They have now been compelled to come out on the roads.
They are on hunger strike since February 16 at Press Club, Jammu. It is very unfortunate that these lady teachers on hunger strike are sitting there during nights but the authorities at the helm of affairs showed their criminal silence regarding this sensitive issue.
After the meeting the EJAC members led by Wani visited the dharna site at Press Club. Farooq Ahmad Trali, Manzoor Ahmad Pampori, Ganesh Khajuria, Vinod Sharma, Mohd Akbar Khan, Mohd Rafiq Rather, Pir Nisar Ahmad, Jamayat Ali Agah, Rajinder Gupta, Darshan Kumar, Ghulam Nabi Sofi, Mir Fayaz, Khalid Bashir, Altaf Ahmad and Javed Ahmad also accompanied.
