TJAC leaders said that if the government really cares for the future of the state and builders of nation and honor and dignity of builders of nation then it should come up with a onetime resolution to the delinking issue and immediate release of 7th pay commission in favour of SSA teachers and head teachers. So that the teachers may feel a sigh of relief and will put their sweat and blood for shaping the future generation.
