Teachers also rued government’s apathy towards teachers who lost lives during to Covid duties.

Baljinder Singh Fatehpur, state president, Computer Teachers Union, and member Gurwinder Singh Tarn Taran said the exploitation of government school teachers has been going on for the past 17 years. They said from 2005. subsequent government exploited computer teachers but failed to give them any reward.
