TGT (Eng) aspirants protest

Panchkula, March 1

Candidates selected in the TGT (English) recruitment, which has been cancelled by the state government, staged a protest today. They demanded their recruitment.

While they were marching to lay siege to the Vidhan Sabha secretariat in Chandigarh, they were stopped by the police at Yavnika Garden here.

Talking to the protesters, a police official said: “You don’t have the required permission. First apply for it with the local police.”

Sandeep Das, state president of the TGT/PGT Patra Adhyapak Sangh, Haryana, said: “We are protesting the oppressive policies of the government. This is just a beginning. We will intensify our protest during the upcoming budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha. The Khattar government should withdraw its decision of cancellation of TGT English recruitment (9/2015) after six years.’’

Members of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU, Chaduni) also joined in the protest. — TNS
