Teachers associated with University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) Dharwad and working in more than 34 post-graduation centres spread across seven districts of North Karnataka launched an indefinite strike on Monday.
The teachers, who began the indefinite agitation on UAS campus in Dharwad, are seeking fulfilment of various demands, including filling vacant posts of teachers and extending various facilities. The protest is being held under the aegis of Association of Teachers Welfare.
Association president I.K. Kalappanavar and secretary Mahantesh Nayak said that some of their demands were promotion of teachers under Career Advancement Scheme (CAS-2006) from the due date of eligibility, advance increments for completion of Ph.D, equal credit to all authors of scientific papers, extension of deputation facility for Ph.D, extension of old pension scheme to teachers, recruitment of teachers to fill vacant posts and reducing work burden.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
