Jobless teachers protest near Punjab CM Channi’s house

Morinda, October 27

Security agencies were caught unawares when a large number of unemployed ETT and TET-pass candidates demanding jobs reached near the residence of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi late on Tuesday evening.

They, however, lifted the dharna after the authorities assured them of arranging a meeting with the CM.

More than 10,000 ETT and TET-pass candidates are up in arms over the delay in getting jobs. Besides jobs for all, their demands include relaxation in age for those who have exceeded the age limit due to non-availability of posts. Unemployed teachers met Education Minister Pargat Singh and other officials during the day. Disappointed, they decided to gherao the CM’s residence. — TNS
