NRMSATA-2016to intensify protest

Nagaland RMSA-2016 Teachers Association (NRMSATA-2016), which has been staging a sit-in demonstration to press their demands, has announced that they would intensify their agitation from Thursday, shifting the venue of their demonstration to outside the Civil Secretariat.
A total of 367 teachers of have been staging a sit-in outside the directorate of school education here since Monday.
The teachers from around 133 government schools of the state are demanding regularisation of service, release of pending salaries, issuance of proper appointment letters, and clarification on service conditions.
NRMSATA-2016 spokesperson Renbemo L Patton said that they have resolved to escalate the protest to press the government to absorb them into the state cadre, similar to the earlier regularisation of the 2010-13 RMSA batches.
RMSA-2016 teachers stated that while the government remains unresponsive, several civil society organisations, village councils and student bodies have extended their support to the agitators and urged the government to seriously address the demands.
Patton said the members are determined to continue the agitation and also resort to hunger strike if the government does not respond positively within the next few days.
