Kurukshetra, Oct 25 (PTI) Guest teachers of government schools in Haryana took out a protest march on Sunday demanding regularisation of their services, squatting on the GT Road and raising slogans against the state and Central governments.
The protesting teachers blocked the GT Road near Pratapgarh village in Kurukshetra district for about 15 minutes, halting traffic towards Ambala as police diverted vehicles through the service lane, officials said.
The state president of the Guest Teachers Joint Struggle Front, Dinesh Yadav, said the government should regularise the services of guest teachers who meet the eligibility criteria.
The teachers have been staging an indefinite protest at the Mini Secretariat in Kurukshetra since June 23. They also demonstrated near the chief minister’s residence on October 10, when water cannons were used to disperse them.
The group plans to submit memorandums to legislators and ministers on Monday. It is also preparing to hold rallies in Gurugram, Kaithal, Ambala, Karnal, Hisar and Rohtak on November 1 to press their demand. PTI COR CHS ARI
