DUTA Press Release: 7 December 2019

The DUTA GBM held today decided on the continuance of the Indefinite Strike with boycott of Invigilation, Evaluation and all other official to press for One-time Regulation for the absorption of adhoc and temporary teachers on the basis of 200 point DOPT roster. While the MHRD has conceded to the teachers’ demands including the withdrawal of the 28 August DU Circular, release of additional posts for EWS reservation and counting of past service as per UGC Regulations 2018, it is unfortunate that the Govt. has not agreed to the absorption of adhoc and temporary teachers to end their exploitation and humiliation. The GBM has therefore decided to continue the movement to pursue this demand as well as others.

The DUTA GBM has agreed on a series of action programmes including the following:

1. Day-night dharna outside the VC’s Office

2. Sunday, 8 December: “We and our Families” Public Meeting at the venue of the Dharna from 12 noon onwards where teachers and their families will narrate their stories.

3. Monday, 9 December: Sansad Chalo March to Parliament from Mandi House at 12 noon

4. Tuesday, 10 December Massive Rally on campus at 2 pm.
