CJP Leader Joins Hunger Strike Demanding LPST Appointments in Kerala
In Thiruvananthapuram, CJP South India in-charge Vijay Reddy Mallangi joined a 12-hour hunger strike with Lower Primary School Teacher (LPST) rank holders demanding government school appointments. Protesters, including LPST convenor Valarmathi who has been on hunger strike for a week, seek appointments from the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) rank list before its expiry, alleging irregularities and corruption in teacher recruitment. They also call for a uniform PSC recruitment process and a reduced teacher-student ratio. The government has yet to fulfill earlier promises to resolve these issues.
