We will claim our legitimate rights by asking the Chairman of the Boards to relieve those officers appointed without the regulation of calendar rules.

They alleged that the Chairman BISE was appointed from the previous government on the condition that he should appoint two officials on deputations on key roles in the Board, which is not justified at any level.

They said that such posts have been reserved for the regular board employees and this is their right to be appointed rather than given such posts to the people who came on deputation from other departments. They said that their strike will continue for an indefinite period in Mardan as well if the Chairman BISE did not follow the rules.

They said that the board痴 employees will also go on strike on April 12, besides staging a pen down, and locked out strikes. They said that if their demand will not meet, there will be a complete boycott of the upcoming matriculation board exams.
