IIT Bombay professors on protest leave

A
fter IIT Chennai and Kharagpur, 450 professors in Mumbai are on mass casual leave to protest against their salaries.

Professors at the IIT Bombay have decided to go on a one-day mass casual leave to oppose what the government has to offer them under the sixth pay commission recommendations. As many as 6500 students will be affected due to the one-day strike.

The professors have struck work on Monday in the Mumbai campus and will be holding a silent protest march as well.

A similar mass causal leave was taken by the IITs at Madras and Kharagpur on Friday and the IIT in Delhi will do the same on Tuesday.

The IIT had reopened on Friday after the Government had ordered schools and colleges to shut due to swine flu.
