National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has expressed concern over the deteriorating health condition of Tribhuvan University (TU) temporary teachers who have been staging indefinite hunger strike for the last ten days demanding benefits at par with permanent teachers.

Issuing a statement Wednesday, NHRC urged government to find out a solution to the demands of temporary teachers through talks.

A NHRC team had met the teachers sitting on fast-unto-death at Ratna Park on Monday found the condition of three of them very serious. A teacher, Lila Raj Baral, has been admitted to the hospital after his condition further deteriorated.

The NHRC also asked the government to provide free treatment to the teachers whose health condition has worsened. nepalnews.com

We shouldnot deploy the teacher on the basis of strike/ temprory basis /cast/
religion basis.

please select the teacher on the basis of their knowledge and
capacity.
Do the free compeion. If they are competant enough only select them
for the university teacher.

Stop Politics in school and college.
