An ETT-TET pass unemployed teacher, who has been protesting atop a mobile tower for the past 104 days, ended his fast-unto-death by drinking juice on Friday.

The teacher, Surinder Pal, was on fast-unto-death for the past 13 days.

The teacher is said to have ended his fast after ETT-TET Teachers Union was called for a meeting with education minister over the issue.

Notably, the health of the teacher was deteriorating by the day, and his blood sugar level had dropped below the critical level.

Meanwhile, it has been learnt that though the teacher ended the fast, he would continue to protest atop mobile tower until his demands are met.
