Jagan promises to address woes of private teachers

Vijayawada: YSRCP president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy said that the new Act would be brought for protecting the rights of teaching staff in private schools if he comes to power.

As part of his Praja Sankalpa Yatra in Gannavaram constituency in Krishna district on Wednesday, Jagan interacted with some teachers of private schools who met him seeking resolution to their demands.

The school teachers said that they should attend not only teaching work but also get children admitted. But there was no job security, they said, and added that the managements were not paying salaries commensurate to their work.

Reacting to the issues of teachers, Jagan said that his party would take all steps to solve their problems after he comes to power. The YSRCP chief assured sugar cane farmers to revive Delta Sugars in Hanuman Junction when they brought their problems to his notice, especially the closure of the sugar factory in Hanuman Junction.  

The leaders of Muslim minority associations met the YSRCP leader during the yatra. On the occasion, he said that the TDP government had failed to fulfil the promises made to people before the Assembly election. A team of doctors came from Srikakulam to extend their support to his yatra.

He said that he would also solve problems in health sector and provide free medical aid to all the poor people. He made a halt at Venkataramapuram village in Krishna district.
