Around 150 volunteer teachers serving in Vanni demonstrated in front of the regional education office located at Muththiraich-chanthi in Nalloor, Jaffna, on Wednesday, demanding permanent appointments for them. While the volunteer teachers in the rest of the island had been made permanent, the volunteer teachers in Vanni had been victimised as they had been working in the territory of the LTTE, the demonstrating teachers complained.

The anti-SL government demonstration taking place at a time the presidential sibling Basil Rajapaksa camping in Jaffna along with 13 SL ministers for civic elections campaign, is quite significant, news sources in Jaffna said.
