The Tamil Nadu Government College Teachers Association has demanded that the higher education department send back all teachers who were redeployed from Annamalai University to the parent institution.
The demand has come at a time when some opposition political leaders have called to make them permanent teachers in government colleges.
In 2016, the then State government decided to redeploy surplus staff from the financially beleaguered Annamalai University to government departments after the university was brought under its control. The government staff and college teachers had opposed the move.
