Islands led by Shri H L Prasad, President & Shri T.S.Sreekumar, General

to these islands on today (27.06.2015) at Port Blair. The delegation submitted
a memorandum containing some of the issues of teachers which are pending with
the Govt. of India. The issues include Grant of Part-B upgraded pay to the
