Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid today urged the teachers of the public universities to carry on the regular educational activities rather than getting worried about the pay scale.

While talking to reporters at a meeting at the secretariat in the morning, the minister also called upon the teachers not to be agitated or angry over the issue.
