Tutors Protest on Teacher's Day for Recognition and Rights
On Teacher's Day, tutors in Guwahati held a hunger strike to get the government's attention.
They want to be officially recognized as teachers, not just tutors, and they want their salaries to go up.
They are also upset because the government promised money to the families of teachers who died, but they haven't received it yet.
The tutors are asking for these things and if the government doesn't listen, they plan to protest even more.
Tutors staged a hunger strike in Guwahati on Teacher's Day.
The protest was organized by the Association of Provincialised Middle English and Lower Primary Tutors.
Protesters demanded recognition as teachers and better salaries.
They highlighted an unfulfilled promise of Rs 10 lakh gratuity for deceased tutors.
The association threatened to intensify the agitation if demands are unmet by October 10.
