SSA non-teaching staff to protest from July 29

Shillong, July 25: The All Meghalaya SSA Non Teaching Staff Association (AMSSANTSA) has announced an indefinite sit-in-demonstration from July 29, till the state government fulfils its promise to enhance the salary of SSA non-teaching employees in the state.
The decision was taken at a meeting held at Malki ground on Thursday.
“We have unanimously decided to stage an indefinite sit-in demonstration from Monday next (July 29) till the government is ready to fulfil its promise to enhance our salary, which has been pending since 2016,” the association said.
Though the Education Minister Rakkam Sangma assured the enhancement of salary in the Assembly, it was not fulfilled, it said.
“This clearly shows that he was only making a false promise/assurance just to fool the members of the state Assembly. However, the non-teaching staff are prepared to fight for their rights”, the association said..
