One of the union leaders of the MSEB said, "The state offered a mere 22% hike in the salary in return for our demand of 60% hike. This is injustice and we have decided to protest by going on a strike."
Au00a0reliable spokesperson of MSEB said that,"Today on Tuesday, state minister has called us for a coordinal meeting to decide upon the hike in the salary. I think positive results are expected from this meeting."
