Government Polytechnic teaching and non-teaching staffs called an indefinite strike starting today.
Government Polytechnic Teachers Association (GPTA)& Government Polytechnic Employees and Workers Association (GPEWA) called the strike denouncing the appointment of Tongbram Baveshwor as Principal in charge of the institution.
K Chaoba, President of GPTA in a press meet at Manipur Press Club said Government and other concern authorities appointed Baveshwor who is in 24th position in seniority list as Principal in Charge.
Chaoba asked the concern authority of their motives behind the blatant disregard of the rules and regulations.
He further said authorities denied a meeting with the association members when they tried to meet the authorities to consult on the matter and to discuss other developmental issues of the institution.
On the other hand, he said the academic atmosphere of the institution has been left in the lurch after the damages caused in the Jan 4 earthquake.
They have been using class rooms of MIT since then but now since the classes for MIT have started, they had to stop classes for want of an alternative arrangement by the authorities of the institution.
