Sangrur, October 12
Taking on the state government for not accepting their demand to regularise their services, 3,807 trained sikhya providers today announced to hold a protest in Dakha constituency against Congress candidate Sandeep Sandhu on October 15.
During a meeting, senior leaders of the union alleged that earlier they had planned an agitation on October 13, but after Sandhu assured them of a meeting with Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla, they had postponed it. “We have been working on meagre salaries for the last 12 years. Despite fulfilling the eligibility criteria, the government is not willing to regularise our services,” said Gurmeet Kaur, convener of the union. — TNS
