FIRs against 900 teachers ‘baseless rumours’

A spokesperson of the State Government clarified here today that the Shimla Police has not registered FIRs against 900 teachers associated with the Government Primary Teachers’ Association, and such rumours were baseless.

FIRs have only been registered against five office bearers of the Association for staging a protest without permission of competent authority and for unlawful assembly.

The spokesperson further said that Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has directed Education Minister Rohit Thakur to listen to the issues raised by the Government Primary Teachers’ Association. Discussions would be held with the Association to resolve their concerns.
