Teachers protest hasty EWS recruitment
Hundreds of Delhi University teachers protested the “hasty” implementation of EWS quota in recruitment of teaching staff, outside the Vice Chancellor’s office on Monday. Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) president Rajib Ray said the rash implementation of EWS reservation is going to result in the displacement of hundreds of ad-hoc teachers. He demanded the University, MHRD and UGC consider the deferment of reservation till such time as additional posts are sanctioned. The strike called by Delhi University Teachers’ Association will resume on Tuesday.
