Haryana college teachers to protest on November 19 for promotions

HISAR: College teachers in Haryana will be on stage dharnas from November 19 at their respective campuses against the "indifferent" attitude of the state government towards their demand for regular promotions.

On the call of the Haryana Federation of University and College Teachers Organization (HFUCTO), the teaching staff of colleges will stage the dharnas to express resentment against "indifferent" attitude of the state government, HFUCTO General Secretary Attar Singh said here today.

A state-level dharna will also be staged in front of the office of Higher Education at Panchkula on November 26 as part of the agitation, he said.

HFUCTO has written many letters to Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for his intervention to remove stagnation in the career of the teachers and give them promotions, but nothing has been done in this regard, he claimed.
