HYDERABAD, Oct 26: The Government Secondary Teach-ers Association, Hyderabad chapter, has protested against non-payment of three-month salary to the newly appointed teachers in Hyderabad.

A general body meeting of the GSTA was held here on Sunday which considered the situation arising out of non-payment of salaries to the newly-appointed teachers. Speaking on the occasion, the president of the Association Hyderabad district, Zamir Khan said that these teachers were appointed after completing all legal formalities yet they had not been paid salary for the last three months.

He rejected the argument of the concerned authorities that an inquiry was being held into the appointment of teachers and said that an inquiry should be held only against those teachers who had been appointed illegally and not those who were appointed after completing all the formalities.

The meeting adopted several resolutions demanding release of salaries to the legally appointed teachers and strict action against those officials who had appointed teachers after taking bribe.

It further demanded that notification with regards to promotion of junior school teachers and the teachers of other cadres, whose DPC was held one month back, should be issued without delay.

Villages: A large number people under the banner of the Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party staged a demonstration outside the press club here on Sunday to protest against the activities of builder mafia. Speaking on the occasion, STP deputy general secretary Nandlal Mahli Gulab Jogi and others said that after the demolition of Karachi villages dominated by Sindhi population, attempts were now being made to hand over similar villages of Qasimabad to builder mafia.

They alleged that the builder mafia was threatening the villagers with dire consequences if they did not vacate their ancient villages.

They said that on the one had tens of thousands of outsiders were being rehabilitated in Sindh and on the other the indigenous population was being displaced from their villages.
