Students, public stage stir demanding more teachers

Puducherry, Mar 9 (UNI) The students of the Government Middle School at Sellippattu and the public today locked the school and resorted to a road blockade demanding posting of more teachers in the school.

According to villagers, as many as 350 students were studying in the school and the staff strength was just five as against the required 12. With their repeated pleas for posting of more teachers failing to evoke any welcome initiative, they resorted to the agitation.

On information, police and senior officials of the education department rushed to the spot and held talks with them.

However, they called off the agitation after getting two teachers posted today itself and the authorities promising to post three more tomorrow.
