Himachal Pradesh Teachers Protest School Complex System; CM Promises Review
Thousands of primary teachers in Himachal Pradesh launched an indefinite relay hunger strike in Shimla, protesting the state government's School Complex System introduced in September 2025. The system consolidates multiple schools under a single principal, which teachers argue reduces administrative autonomy and disrupts teacher deployment. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu assured the system would be reviewed or withdrawn and promised to withdraw FIRs and inquiries against protesting teachers. The protest followed a 15-day statewide march and included serving and retired teachers from remote regions.
