JAMMU, Jan 4: Police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse protesting Rehbar-e-Khel teachers demanding freezing of posts in the department which were recently de-freezed by the Government.
The agitating ReK teachers started their protest march from outside the Press Club Jammu but the contingent of police deployed there prevented them from disrupting the traffic on the road.
To foil the march, police resorted to lathi-charge over the agitators, wherein some of the protestors including a lady got injured and admitted them to GMC Jammu, who were later discharged from the hospital after getting treatment.
It is pertinent to mention here that hundreds of Rehbar-e-Khel teachers continued their protest for the sixteenth consecutive day on Wednesday under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir Rehbar-e-Khel Teachers Association and appealed to the Jammu and Kashmir administration to fulfil the promises made to them.
“We perform duties with enthusiasm, but the present Government denies justice to us”, they added and said that as per the policy the available vacancies of Physical Education Teachers (PETs) will be kept reserved for Rehbar-e-Khel Teachers but the Government is going to de-freeze the freezed posts, which is totally injustice with them.
