The Hindu
They urge govt. to review and reconsider restructuring exercise of ASI
A protest entailing 31 epigraphists who have been ignored by the government while restructuring the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) was held on Thursday. There are about 31 epigraphists on the payrolls of the ASI posted in Mysuru, Nagpur, Lucknow, and Chennai and they staged a silent demonstration in front of their respective offices. This was to urge the government to reconsider and review the restructuring exercise of ASI under which not a single new post had been created for the epigraphy branch. The epigraphists called for strengthening the epigraphy branch to help “complete the pending work of 100 years” by creating more posts.More Related News
