Nagaland Teachers Boycott Classes Over Pay, Court Orders
Imagine teachers in Nagaland who were hired in 2016 aren't getting paid the same as other teachers who started earlier.
They went to court and won, but the government hasn't followed the court's orders.
Now, these teachers are refusing to teach, which affects 133 schools.
They want equal pay and the money they're owed.
The government says it's looking into it and has asked them to wait, but the teachers feel they have no choice but to protest because they feel that the government is ignoring the court's orders.
RMSA-2016 Teachers Association began a statewide class boycott.
The boycott affects 133 educational institutions across Nagaland.
Teachers are protesting the government's failure to implement court orders for equal pay.
The teachers are seeking equal pay, service recognition and release of all arrears.
The government has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court regarding the issue.
