Bathinda, December 31
Computer teachers, who have been rendering their services in government schools across the state for the past over 16 years, have been demanding benefits of regular services.
Threaten to launch stir again
After our 3-day protest in Kharar, the government gave us assurance that our demand will be fulfilled. But nothing has been done since then. If our demands are not fulfilled then we will be forced to start stir again. — Paramvir Singh, Union Leader
Recruited in 2005 by the state government, their services were regularised in 2011. Representatives of the Computer Adhyapak Union rued that though their services were regularised by the government, they were yet to get benefits of regular employees. Talking to The Tribune, Jonny Singla, a senior leader of the union, said: “The government has also not provided us with the benefits of the Sixth Pay Commission Report. Moreover, benefits under the Punjab Civil Services Rules are also not being provided to us. We have been rendering our services in schools for the past many years but despite regularising our services, we were not given complete benefits.”
Paramvir Singh, another union leader, said: “There is no increment on our salaries and even medical reimbursement and provision of employment to kin in case of death of an employee is not there.” — TNS
