HTET qualifiers resort to Gandigiri, give traffic lessons to motorists

HTET qualifiers resort to Gandigiri, give traffic lessons to motorists


HANDIGARH: In a bid to intensify their stir against the Haryana government, the members of Patra Adhyapak Sangh, a body of qualifiers of Haryana state eligibility test on Saturday resorted to Gandhigiri and taught motorists, the traffic rules, outside the education directorate in Panckula here on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the fast unto death started by 21 such protesting members entered the fourth day. The protesters also burnt the effigy of director, secondary education to express their resentment.

Around 1 lakh qualifiers of HTET (Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test ), a test conducted by Haryana Board are protesting against the government move of waiving off the condition related to test for the recruitment of teachers. Targeted to accommodate 15,000 guest teachers currently working in government schools, the Haryana government had amended the rule in the month of April this year.

We are an educated class and can not take law in our hands, hence we decided to resort to this kind of agitation. Today we have cleaned windscreens of cars and have educated the drivers about road safety rules. So far as our fast until death is concerned, it has entered the fourth day and we shall not withdraw until government withdraw its move of HTET waiver in teachers recruitment,'' Rajinder Sharma, the state president of Patra Adyapak Sangh, said.

"If government cannot withdraw the move, then it must give an employment to the post of lecturers, professors or recruit us to the Haryana civil services (HCS) and give us time of four years to qualify the written tests or interviews," added Sharma.
