Voluntary teachers in Kilinochchi demonstrated on Wednesday outside the Chief Minister's headquarters, calling for permanent employment.

Demanding that chief minister, C V Wigneswaran address their concerns and take action, the volunteer teachers said they have worked 5 - 10 years in a voluntary role however, despite this, have not been given permanent employment.





Over 100 people took part in the demonstration, which was organised by the Kilinochchi District Volunteer Teachers' Association.

A memorandum was handed over to Mr Wigneswaran at the end of the protest.
