Sikkim Sachet Swarojgar Berojgar Sangathan condemns black flag incident

GANGTOK, 01 Nov: Sikkim Sachet Swarojgar Berojgar Sangathan has strongly condemned the recent incident where members of a political party reportedly waved black flags as the Chief Minister’s convoy was passing by at Gyalshing, West Sikkim.
In a press release issued today, general secretary of the Sangathan, Dev Gurung has called the act a “misuse” of democratic privileges guaranteed by the Constitution.
He has requested the authorities to take stringent action against those involved in the incident.
The Sangathan has also strongly opposed the on-going strike called by the All Sikkim Ad-hoc Teachers Association. With the final exams approaching and school syllabus yet to be completed, the students are facing a lot of problems, Mr. Gurung states.
The ad-hoc teachers’ demand for relaxation in TET is against the policy of appointing quality teachers for schools and not in the interest of students, he adds.
The Sangathan has appealed to the ad-hoc teachers to end their strike and resume their duties in order to be able to complete the school syllabus on time. “Accordingly, we also appeal to the government to conduct the TET soon and call for interviews to appoint fresh and eligible teachers before the next session begins,” the release mentions.
The Sangathan has also welcomed the decision of the government to provide monthly allowance to educated unemployed youth of the state. For this purpose, it has suggested that the government come up with a minimum and maximum age limit along with minimum qualification and other relevant conditions as deemed fit by the government.
Expressing its gratitude towards the government on distributing free laptops to the state’s students, the Sangathan has appealed to the students, parents, teachers, Panchayats, NGOs and individuals to ensure proper use of those laptops for the welfare of the society at large.
