Wanaparthy: For the past 19 days, Samagra Shiksha employees have been on an indefinite strike in front of the district collectorate demanding the government to meet their legitimate demands. They want the government to regularise all SS employees across the state as promised by CM Revanth Reddy, immediately implement pay scales, provide ex-gratia to the families of deceased employees and address issues related to health/job security. Teachers’ unions such as PRTU TG, STU and TSGHMA district and state leaders participated on Sunday and expressed solidarity with the protest. Speaking on the occasion, they said the education system has been adversely affected due to the strike by teaching and non-teaching staff in KGBVs. Students preparing for exams are facing difficulties as the syllabus is incomplete and the absence of teachers poses challenges. He highlighted that employees responsible for providing mid-day meals and meeting other school-related needs within the mandal limits are also participating in the strike, causing operational problems. Therefore, he demanded the government to respond immediately and take steps to meet the demands.
