Manipur Contractual Teachers Strike Disrupts Schools
Imagine lots of teachers in Manipur schools who are not getting paid on time.
They are called 'contractual teachers'.
These teachers are not happy because they want to be full-time employees with regular salaries.
These teachers have decided to stop working until the government agrees to give them permanent jobs and pay them on time.
This is causing a problem because classes are being interrupted.
The teachers have been promised regular jobs and salaries by the government but it has not happened yet.
The teachers are asking the government to keep its promises so that they can get back to teaching.
Over 600 contractual teachers in Manipur schools are on strike.
The strike has disrupted academic activities for three days.
Teachers demand regularisation of services and timely salaries.
The strike began on Monday, organised by the Lecturers’ Association Manipur.
Teachers seek implementation of a 2022 cabinet decision for regularisation.
