Jactto-Geo cites upcoming exams, CM’s appeal as reasons
In a relief to students of State-run schools, the general public as well as the government, the Joint Action Council of Tamil Nadu Teachers’ Organisations and Government Employees’ Organisations (Jactto-Geo) on Wednesday announced its decision to “temporarily postpone” its indefinite strike, which has been on since January 22.
Temporary halt
“In view of the upcoming examinations and practical tests for Class 10, 11 and 12 students and in consideration of the welfare of students and the sentiments of their parents, directions of the High Court as well as the appeal of the Chief Minister and other political leaders, we have decided to temporarily suspend our indefinite protest. Our demands remain,” A. Vincent Paulraj, a Jactto-Geo coordinator and Tamil Nadu Teachers Federation General Secretary, announced.
Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami had on Tuesday appealed to the striking employees and teachers to prioritise welfare works over their rights and return to work. DMK president and leader of the Opposition M.K. Stalin too appealed to striking teachers on Wednesday to return to work in view of the examinations.
Tamil Nadu Government Employees Association (TNGEA) general secretary and Jactto-Geo coordinator M. Anbarasu said that the association was still hopeful that the CM would hold talks with them to resolve issues.
