The Association will review the issue and take appropriate action in the matter very soon. Other members in the delegation were Shri. H L Prasad, Shri. Venkat Rama Rao, Shri. P Jay Murthy, the VicePresident, Secretary, Joint Secretary respectively of South Andaman Teachers' Branch and Smti. Rekha Sharma, Organising Secretary, Central Committee, NGOs' Association.
