The rallyst followed IB Road, Tipaimukh Road and then to Tedim road from and culminated at the DC office.
Addressing the gathering, Johny Pau, the joint secretary of CDTA accused the state government headed by O Ibobi as trying to fool the public by saying that if they are given their demands then the rest of the public will suffer.
He further stated that the central government had sanctioned sufficient amount of money keeping in mind the financial crunch which the state government is in for quite sometime, yet the CM has failed to keep his promise which was made in the presence of the education minister and other senior cabinet minister.
The CS in the meantime has given the assurance that they will be given the 6th Central pay in toto in the presence of the senior members in the cabinet earlier yet it has come to naught, he reiterated.
Nehkhohau Haokip Vice President of Welfare Association, Graduate Teachers stated that, the manner the government tried to cheat the pubic is unacceptable, while adding that a government having no knowledge of even plan or unplanned is like leading a ship with no knowledge of the direction properly.
