Meanwhile, a protest was held at GGDSD College, Sector 32, followed by a rally. “Also, the CTU today lent a full support to the demands of college staffers. They have been raising their issues for the past many months, including delay in the direct implementation of the UGC regulations, pending CAS promotions and all benefits and allowances on a par with government colleges,” said Goklaney.

Notably, students have also formed a JAC to support the demands of teaching and non-teaching staff.
