"If we are asked to perform night duties we do, if asked to clean school premises we , if as ked to prepare meals we feel proud but why the government has been shying away to address our problems over the years," he added. He said that the employees have been demanding monthly salary at par with daily wagers that even the High Court the highest judiciary of the state endorse and impressed upon the government to meet this genuine demand of ours "but I think they even don't care for court directions and do whatever they deem fit" He asked a question to Education Minister and government Spokesman, Nayeem Akhter as to what is their fault, why should their families suffer and why should they tantalize for their rights. "We have always respected the instructions and will continue to do so in future, if the government wants us to perform night duties we will do, but our demand to the government is to comply with the High Court directions and increase our monthly salary," said he.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
