  1. If school reopens at this period social distancing is next to impossible the cases will rise in manifold
    Maharashtra Government should think over it
    Instead No salaries should be given to teachers of aided school
    No school No work No salaries
    Reduce the retirement age of teachers to 50 years with immediate effect no point in keeping younger generation jobless
    Teachers above 50 years takes too much high salaries this is big burden on Government
    Save maharashtra from financial crisis
    mostly teachers have got the government aided jobs in schools by giving bribes
    Reduce teachers age of retirement to 50 years
