Teachers to Hold Protest Rally in Mohali on June 2 Against Anti‑Education Policies
Hoshiarpur / Daljeet Ajnoha /May 29
— District leaders of the Government Teachers Union (GTU), Narinder Ajnoha, Paramjit Katib and Onkar Singh, have accused the Punjab government of burdening teachers with a wide range of non‑teaching duties that are harming their mental well‑being. The leaders said teachers are being assigned tasks such as insurance card schemes, drug surveys, BLO duties, election duty, SIR work, stubble‑burning oversight, census duties and implementation of school projects including Mission Samriddhi, Chanan‑Rishma, and Dettol Project, among others. They added that the education department has remained a silent spectator to these developments.
The leaders further alleged that promotions in the education department have stalled, leaving managerial posts vacant and disrupting normal school functioning. They demanded restoration of the old pension scheme, issuance of a letter addressing the central pay scale (July 2020), cancellation of notices relating to the 2015 scrutiny period, an end to harassment of teachers under recast assignments, transfer opportunities for all teachers, and fulfillment of other just demands.
To press these grievances, the GTU has organized a strong protest rally and demonstration on June 2 in front of Vidya Bhavan in Mohali. Union leaders have appealed to all teachers to attend the protest in large numbers.
Present at the gathering were Jaswinder Singh, Ajay Kumar, Pawan Kumar, Harish Puri, Manjinder Singh, Onkar Tanuli, Sandeep Kumar, Surjeet Singh, Makhan Singh, Harmanoz Kumar, Inderjeet Singh, Manjinder Kumar, Pawanveer Singh, Ashok Kumar, Jaswinder Singh, Bhupinder Singh, Baljit Singh, Gurman Singh and Harvinder Singh, among others.
