SHIMOGA: Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda requested the lecturers to resume their duties.
Interacting with reporters here on Sunday, he expressed anguish over the lecturers boycotting evaluation work, terming it a form of blackmail.

The discussion with the PU lecturers today aimed to resolve the issue, he added.
Meanwhile, the Department of Pre-University Education in its final direction asked the PU lecturers to resume evaluation work from today, failing which the department would resort to disciplinary action.
