Garhshankar, June 14:- In the name of drug cum socio-economic sensitization, the Punjab government has forced teachers to do non-academic duties and misused government machinery to fulfill its political interests. A protest was held by all the teachers under the leadership of the Democratic Teachers Front at the Attendance Center, Garhshankar. Addressing the protestors at this time, DTF state leaders Mukesh Kumar, Sukhdev Dancewal and Vinay Kumar said that on the one hand, the government has given advertisements through newspapers and other means regarding the duties of voluntary employees for this survey, on the other hand, the authorities are forcing teachers to do duty by imposing forced duties on teachers.
The leaders of the organizations said that in the survey being conducted by the Punjab government, A.I. Using technology, such questions are to be asked from the common people in which the opinion of the people is being taken regarding the schemes of the government and they will also be asked what other work the government should do. In such a situation, at first glance it appears that the government is preparing a survey or an agenda for future policies for a particular party under the name of a survey.
Along with the above, the leaders of the organizations Rupinder Singh, Inderjit Kaur, Parjinder Singh while addressing said that on the one hand, this Bhagwant Mann government had publicly announced that no teacher would be made to do non-academic duties, a comfortable environment would be created for teachers to study.
But on the contrary, this government is continuously making teachers do non-academic duties, even in addition to census, BLO duties, election duties, teachers have also been given duties on a large scale for drug sensing, pilgrimage and making health cards. Teachers are being continuously forced to do duty outside schools, which has also had a large impact on the education of poor students.
On this occasion, Tehsildar Mr. Munish Kumar Ji reached the dharna and received the demand letter, agreed with all the arguments of the leaders and assured that the demand of the teachers will be conveyed to the SDM Sahib.
Protesting this bullying attitude of the government, the organizations have decided that on tomorrow, June 15, all the teachers' organizations will take a mass deputation of teachers and hold a meeting with the Honorable SDM Sahib Garhshankar regarding the duties in the drug sensitization so that he can be informed about the entire situation and these non-academic duties imposed on the teachers can be cut.
A large number of teachers including leaders Sandeep Singh, Pardeep Singh, Davinder Singh, Subhash Chandra, Kamaljit Singh, Sandeep Thakur, Murad Hussain, Satnam Singh, Manish Rana, Sanjeev Kumar, Subhash Kumar, Praveen Kumar, Hussan Lal, Inderjit Kaur, Poonam Kumari, Jyotka, Madam Bharat Jyoti, Baljinder Kaur, Anshu Rana, Priyanka, Usha Rani, Rajni Kumari, Pushpinder Kaur, Poonam Rani, Kavita Agwani, Kiran Kanwar, Mamta Rani, Nirmal Kaur, Jyoti Luba participated in today's protest.
