Ludhiana, December 3

The guest faculty assistant professors carried out a protest march from the Government College for Girls to Durga Mata Mandir, Bharat Nagar Chowk, and then concluded it at the college. The teachers were protesting against the state government, demanding job security.

Falwinder Verma, a teacher, said the members of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and students’ union supported all guest faculty members of the government colleges for girls throughout Punjab.

The teachers said they have been protesting in government colleges across Punjab for the last 32 days due to the deadly policies adopted by the Punjab government against the raw professors working in government colleges for the last 15-20 years on guest faculty, part-time and contract basis. They warned the government that if the government does not secure the jobs of the guest faculty assistant professors in writing then the struggle will be intensified.
