Government teachers of Chhattisgarh have supported the dismissed B.Ed assistant teachers. Government teachers are preparing a strategy to close the schools and take one day leave and protest along with the assistant teachers.
.
State President of School Teachers Association, Virendra Dubey, reached the Tuta protest site on Tuesday and said that talks are going on with all the teacher organizations regarding this and in support, teachers across the state will remain on a one-day leave.
Virendra Dubey said that the state government has taken the decision to fire B.Ed assistant teachers. The school teachers union is opposing it. Because these teachers were selected on the basis of merit and after being fired from the job, all 2900 teachers will face a crisis of livelihood. In such a situation, the government should reconsider its decision.
B.Ed assistant teachers are sitting on a mass fast.
