Imphal, July 6: Teachers of RMSA today executed their pledge to lock the doors of the director of education office and squatted at the office complex as part of their ongoing agitation to demand the release of their salaries for the last seven months.
The RMSA Graduate Teachers’ Association which is spearheading the agitation had kept itself low for a while after the administration gave them assurances that their remuneration will be cleared within June.
A few days ago a delegation of the teachers’ association went to meet the director of RMSA but their trip ended in disappointment as they found his office locked and the director absent on account of heavy inundation of the complex.
The teachers also commenced pen down strike from today as their renewed act of aggression against the administration protesting the latter’s inability to clear their pending salaries from the month of November last year.
Yesterday, during a press meeting representatives of the RMSA Graduate Teachers’ Association said they have met the chief ministers and concerned over the issue. However, despite repeated assurances to release their pending salaries within June end the authorities has not shown any positive move meant for fulfillment of their demands, said N Pakasana, the president of the association
