KARACHI: Schoolteachers protesting for regularisation of their services on Tuesday called off their protest that had been going on outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC) for days.

The protest was ended after Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Shah invited the teachers’ representatives at his office and held talks with them.

“After successful talks with the education minister, the teachers have ended their protest outside the KPC,” said SSP-South Asad Raza.

A spokesperson for the minister, Saeed Memon, confirmed the development but did not elaborate as to what promises were made by the minister with the protesting teachers.

However, Saddar SP Ali Mardan Khoso told Dawn that education authorities ‘promised’ the protesting teachers that their demands would be fulfilled within one month.
