#AskEM campaign launched

Jalandhar: The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Mid-Day Meal Daftari Karamchari Union on Monday launched a programme called #AskEMVijayinderSingla on the lines of #AskCaptain campaign started by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh. The members said they would put questions to every leader who come to them seeking votes. “They make big promises and then forget to fulfil these, that is why we would ask them questions which they will send to Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla. Notably, the union members have been seeking the regularisation of their services. They said teachers appointed under the SSA in 2018 were regularised by the government, but the non-teaching workers who were appointed much earlier were still working on a contract basis, which was not right on the part of the government. The protesters said nearly 1,000 employees in the state had been working on contract and were getting meagre salaries. TNS
