Speaking to ‘Star of Mysore’ this morning, Karnataka State PU College Lecturers Association, Mysuru District President Yogananda said that most Science lecturers from outside districts, who attended answer paper Coding and Decoding work yesterday and today (June 3 and 4) are facing a lot of hardship at Bengaluru as there is no adequate boarding, lodging and transport facilities due to COVID-19 lockdown. But still the Government is pressurising them to attend work, which is unfair and as such most of the Science lecturers from outside Bengaluru district have decided to boycott evaluation work unless proper arrangements are made for their stay during the evaluation period, especially at a time when their health and safety are at risk due to outbreak of Coronavirus, he said.
Urging the Government to conduct Science stream subjects answer paper evaluation at the Divisional-level considering the health and safety of Lecturers, as has been done in the case of Arts and Commerce streams, Yogananda, however clarified that the ongoing Mysuru Divisional evaluation of Arts and Commerce stream papers will continue in the city without any interruption.
