The agitated outsourcing employees of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) organised a secretariat march on Tuesday. These employees assembled at the old Raipur bus stand on Tuesday and marched towards the secretariat where they were stopped by the police. The agitators carried out a vociferous protest and demanded immediate renewal of their contract.
The State Government had appointed 656 youths as laboratory assistants on contract in the government schools under RMSA last year. This contract expired on March 31 this year and was not renewed in the new financial year.
On the demand of these employees, the State Government assured them to extend their contract and on August 22 released a Government Order (GO) in which the contract of these employees was extended. The President of Out sourcing employees association of RMSA, Subhash lakehra said that even after release of GO, nothing is done by the department for extension of the contract.
He said that the agitation of the association would continue till their demand of renewing their services and adjustment in the Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) is accepted.
