The North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Wednesday held talks with the teachers’ association after 7,000 teachers stopped taking online classes over the issue of non-payment of salaries since August.

Kuldeep Singh Khatri, president of Shikshak Nyay Manch, an association for teachers under the civic body, said the North body officials had offered “to pay one month’s salary in order to call off the strike but we refused the offer”.

He said the teachers will hold an “indefinite strike” outside the BJP State headquarters if “our dues are not paid by December 8”.
