Teachers' organizations in Hoshiarpur held a candlelight march to honor a teacher couple who died during election duty, allegedly due to mismanagement. They demanded ₹2 crore compensation for each family, full education expenses, and government jobs for the deceased couple's children. They also sought compensation for an injured associate teacher and called for a ban on non-academic duties for teachers during elections, demanding better safety and accommodation. A state-level rally is planned if demands are unmet.
