MIRPURKHAS, Feb 25: A procession was taken out here on Sunday under the banner of the Action Committee for Reinstatement of Primary Teachers, demanding reinstatement of 80 teachers who were sacked in 1998.

Led by Manzoor Maher and Zeeshan Leghari, a large number of teachers carrying banners and placards marched on the main roads and reached the press club where they held a demonstration.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Maher and Mr Leghari said that 80 teachers of the district sacked in 1998 had still not been reinstated in service though the government had recently reinstated sacked teachers of Umerkot and Dadu districts.
