Kohima, March 15 (MExN): Protesting outside the Directorate of School Education, the All Nagaland Hindi Teachers’ Union (ANHTU) today reiterated their nine months long demand for release of salaries to CSS Hindi teachers.
Teachers from the 11 districts travelled all the way to Kohima to seek their basic entitlement to their salaries from the government. “Around 1300 of us from all districts are gathered today to protest. The officials only said that fund has not been released, therefore they cannot do anything,” said Nelson Y, General Secretary of ANHTU.
However, failure of a positive outcome today has compelled the Hindi teachers to intensify their agitation which will continue tomorrow at 9:00am at Secretariat Complex.
The ANHTU in a press note meanwhile informed that it held an emergency meeting on March 15 and resolved that agitation will be continue till the department fulfils the teacher’s demands.
It was further agreed upon that the protest would now be held at Nagaland Civil Secretariats outside the gate. The ANHTU informed all CSS Hindi teachers to reach the Secretariat by 9:00am.
