Discriminated teachers plan meetings
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, JULY 9
The Discriminated Teachers’ Forum (DTF) will hold taluka-wise meetings of prematurely retired teachers in view of the forthcoming Assembly session to impress upon the Government to take note of their grievances, an assurance over which was made in June.
DTF said the meetings are being planned to decide on the future course of action after Chief Minister Digambar Kamat failed to take note of their grievances even as one month had passed after his assurance of finding a solution to their problems.
A press release issued here states teachers from Salcete, Canacona and Vasco will hold their meeting at Loyola High School, Margao, on July 11 at 10 am and those from Ponda and surrounding areas will meet at 4 pm at Shiksha Bhavan.
The release informs further Quepem and Sanguem taluka teachers will meet on July 12 at 10 am at the New Educational Institute (Old Building), while those from Curchorem, Bardez, Bicholim, Sattari and Pernem are meeting Walawalkar Higher Secondary School, Khorlim, Mapusa at 3.30 pm on July 14.
It stated the DTF had suspended its indefinite chain hunger strike in June last after receiving an assurance from the CM to look into their problems. But we are pained to see that nothing concrete was happening till date, it mentioned further.
