KARACHI, Feb 13: The Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA) on Monday condemned what it called delaying tactics of the Sindh education department to solve the problems faced by the teacher’s community, and vowed to carry out a province-wide protest drive against the department.

A meeting of high-powered committee of the SPLA was held here with SPLA President Prof Riaz Ahsan in the chair. The meeting decided that a protest plan would be made public on Feb 16 at press conference. It said protest rallies would be staged in all district headquarters, while demonstrations and hunger strike camps would also be set up in all the major cities and towns. The meeting appealed to the Sindh governor and chief minister to take personal interest in order to solve the genuine problems of the teaching community.—PPI
