Led by the Himachal Government College Teachers’ Association (HGCTA), state senior vice-president Sanjay Jasrotia, teaching and non-teaching faculty of the local Arya Government College held a protest demonstration on Wednesday at the college campus against the new pension scheme (NPS).

The protestors wearing black badges raised slogans against scrapping of the NPS and restoration of the old pension scheme (OPS).

While addressing protestors, Jasrotia said the NPS was anti-employees as they had to face its repercussions after their retirement. He said it was also against the spirit of the democracy as the employees who got government job after 2003 were being exploited financially.

On the occasion he also raised the longstanding demands of filling up the vacant 600 posts of college lecturers, to reduce contract period from three to two years, implement new pay commission and restore pay increments of MPhil and PhD college professors.
