Peeved at the state government`s continued negligence of their demands, part-time government college lecturers who are currently on a strike, have threatened to intensify their agitation, apart from filing a comtempt of court case against the government.

N. Helendra Singh, general secretary of the Part-time Lecturers Association of Government Colleges, said that in view of the lack of government response to the part-timers` demands, they would intensify their agitation, including closure of college offices and staging of sit-in protests. However, the ongoing ceasework strike would be suspended on December 7 in the students` interest, in view of the college students` union elections being held on that day.

The part-timers have been on cease-work since September 29th in pursuit of their long-standing demand for minimum basic pay.
