As no positive response came forth even after a series of sit-in demonstrations at the campuses of their respective colleges, the teachers took two days of mass casual leave on Friday and Saturday.

โ€œThe stir by the teachers has been necessitated by the Governmentโ€™s failure to implement the Cabinet approval of the UGC policy,โ€ the teachersโ€™ body alleged.
