“ The of file of the deceased teacher Mohammad Muneer has been lying on the table of OSD DSEK but those at the helm of affairs hardly bother about the plight of teachers and their families. We want justice to the victim family, “said protesting District President Jammu and Kashmir Rehbar-e-Taleem Teachers Fourm (JKRTTF)Mohammad Yaqoob Bhat.

Now his regularization was due in 2018 as RRT but the file is facing red-tapsim and eats dust in DSEK and his salary is withheld from last one year.
