Guest Teachers Protest in Bhopal Over Unfulfilled Regularisation and Job Security Promises

Around 2,000 to several thousand guest teachers from Madhya Pradesh protested in Bhopal demanding the government fulfill pre-election promises. Their key demands include regularisation similar to permanent teachers, bonus marks in recruitment, yearly contracts ensuring job security, improved scorecards, social security benefits, and resolution of pending payments and e-attendance issues. Leaders warned that failure to address these concerns may result in unemployment for about 125,000 guest teachers after April 30 and pledged stronger protests if ignored.
