Para-teachers hold a meeting at a ground located barely 500 metres from the Vidhan Sabha, in Ranchi on Monday
RANCHI: Para-teachers in large numbers protested near the Vidhan Sabha on Monday seeking regularisation of services and pay hike, among others, in defiance of the state government’s diktat to abstain from the agitation.
Hundreds of para-teachers from Giridih, Ramgarh, Lohardaga, Deoghar and East Singhbhum districts held a meeting under the banner of Ekikrit Para Sikshak Sangharsh Morcha at a ground located 500 metres from the Vidhan Sabha. The agitation lasted for around six hours.
The para-teachers claimed that the JMM-Congress-RJD coalition had assured them that it would regularise their services after coming to power, but the government has not fulfilled its promise even after completing nearly 400 days in office.
