VPP Slams Meghalaya Bureaucrats For Delay To Meet Deficit School Teachers’ DemandsShillong, Oct 22: Expressing its solidarity with the ongoing demands by deficit school teachers in Meghalaya, the opposition Voice of the People Party (VPP) today slammed the State bureaucracy for the “arrogance and insensitivity towards the teaching community”.
“It is deeply unfortunate that teachers, who dedicated their lives to shaping the future of our children, are compelled to resort to agitation to make the government listen to their grievances,” the VPP saud in a statement issued today.
The deficit school teachers are demanding payment of Contributory Provident Fund (CPF), clearing of Dearness Allowance arrears, retirement benefits, filling up of vacancies and other service matters.

Blaming the bureaucracy for the failure to address the issues raised by the deficit school teachers in the State, the VPP said, “No administrative officer, regardless of rank, should treat teachers as inferior or dismiss their legitimate demands merely because they lack bureaucratic power.”
The party also called upon the State government to engage meaningfully with the teachers’ associations and resolve their outstanding demands without further delay.
