Kohima, February 26 The Nagaland Government Teachers' Association announced on Friday that they would intensify their protest from March 2, citing the failure of previous efforts.
The association stated that this latest two-day protest follows the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum, a two-day strike, and two days of peaceful demonstrations.
The NGTA is demanding that their salary components be included in the State Non-Development Expenditure under the Directorate of School Education.
The association said it would continue to use all necessary democratic measures until the issue is addressed "in principle."
The protest, involving 2,293 government teachers, was held at the Directorate of School Education in Kohima.
Despite repeated representations, the government has not addressed their demand in principle, prompting the escalation, the NGTA said.
The next phase of intensified protest is scheduled to begin on March 2 at Solidarity Park, Kohima.
