Epigraphists to stage protest today
The Hindu
This is to condemn raw deal given to them in ASI restructuring
Epigraphists in Mysuru and rest of India will stage a silent protest in their respective offices on Thursday in protest against the restructuring of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The restructuring exercise completed recently has given a short shrift to the epigraphists and even some of the existing posts have been surrendered, according to the department officials. Though they made representations to the authorities to highlight the importance of epigraphy in the study and interpretation of India’s history, the restricting exercise has ignored the role of epigraphy, according to former epigraphists who have since retired from the department.More Related News
