The USTA leader also highlighted some other demands, which include adjustment of the Masters whose DPC was made in February 2014, release pending salary of ReT teachers and Masters, 4th & 5th installment of 6th Pay Commission arrear & DA. arrears of Masters working under SSA, release salary of newly appointed teachers working against shifted posts, Senior Teacher grade in favour of trained under graduate teachers and removal of pay anomalies in their grade, restoration of old pension scheme, implementation of transfer policy in favour of regularized ReT teachers, especially female teachers & start Pre-primary classes in all schools having primary classes by providing required staff and infrastructure.
The USTA leader expressed grave concern over the alleged non serious and indifferent attitude of the State Government towards these just and long pending demands of the teaching community. They appealed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to intervene into the matter and direct the concerned authorities to provide transparent administration and concede the demands to avoid any further confrontation.
Others who are present in the press conference, included Pardeep Singh, Angad Singh, Sunil Thappa and Shanti Swroop.
