The deadlock between the protesting teachers and the management still continues. The protesting teachers told that till date no representative from the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha Punjab approached the protesting teachers and responded to the continuous reminders of the PCCTU. Addressing the teachers the district president (Ludhiana) briefed that on July 24 the Punjab Cabinet under Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had regularised the services of 127 assistant professors working in different government-aided colleges of Punjab. “It appears that the Arya College Management Committee Ludhiana is in no mood to regularise the services of 18 assistant professors working in their institution. Further it is also advocated that they filled up the posts as per the notification of the Punjab Government” they said. “Despite of continuous requests letters and reminders to the management to implement the decision of Punjab Government no positive response has been received from them so far. It may be important to mention here again that the same decision is being implemented by rest of the college managements in Punjab. Thus this ambiguity has on the part of management has created anxiety and restlessness among the teachers and their families and that has forced them to take the path of agitation for which the whole responsibility lies on the shoulders of the college management” they said.
