The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of teachers of government schools will observe a black day on August 14 in view of increase in school timings and manhandling a teacher of Sector 45-based school. 

The executive committee of the JAC met on Sunday. They praised the education secretary, BL Sharma, for registering FIR against the student and his relatives involved in manhandling a Hindi teacher at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 45, Chandigarh. The scuffle took place on August 9.   

Rishi Kumar, a Hindi teacher, had filed a complaint, on the basis of which a case under Sections 147, 148, 332, 353 and 323 of the IPC was registered against the juvenile student, his mother Rama, maternal uncles Vinod Kumar and Santosh and aunt Pooja. The accused have been arrested and the student was presented before the Juvenile Justice Board and sent to a juvenile home.

“We have appealed to teachers to observe August 14 as a black day by wearing black clothes. If the department fails to revoke the order of increased school timings, we will boycott the teachers’ day function,” said Bhag Singh Kairon, chief of the JAC. — TNS
