HC Directs MP Teachers to End Stir, Resume Duties
Bhopal — A two member bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court comprising Justice Deepak Mishra and Justice RK Gupta, hearing a petition filed by Rupesh Kumar – a student of the Rani Durgawati University, on Thursday ordered striking teachers in the state to call off the agitation and return to their duties.
Following the HC directives, Education Minister Archana Chitnis urged striking college teachers to report back on duty from September 25.
Hailing the directive, Chitnis termed it in the larger interests of the students.
She underlined that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has constituted a three member committee of ministers to find a solution to the demands raised by the teachers.
College teachers across the state launched an indefinite strike to press for the implementation of the sixth pay commission recommendations, earlier this month.
