Imphal, March 26 2015:
Opposing the Government's effort to hire new SSA and RMSA teachers amidst the cry for regularization of hills' contract basis teachers, a 'sit and protest' was organized on Thursday.
The protest was held at Keishampat Junction with 150 teachers and various hill organizations taking part in the sit-in.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, Manipur Hill District Contract Basis Teachers' Association member L Angangcha Maring said that the purpose of hiring new teachers is meaningless.
He said that the Government should focus on the existing issues rather than sideling it.
The association demanded immediate regularization and also set April first week as the deadline for meeting their demands.
The association has also warned that it will launch more agitations if the issues faced by people of the hill areas are neglected.
