Faculties added that among 763 working faculties in ICT @ School project across the state, about 600 faculties opposed the so called ‘fast unto death’ programme by a section of faculties.
They alleged that, ATSCFA’s president, secretary and a member of working committee are working under the behest of a particular political party of their personal interests.
