Teacher Recruitment Protest in Bhopal Enters 20th Day Over Vacancy Demands
Teacher candidates in Madhya Pradesh have been protesting in Bhopal for 20 days, demanding an increase in primary and secondary teacher recruitment posts and the filling of vacant positions. Protesters allege thousands of vacancies remain unfilled despite limited advertised posts and urge a second counselling round. Officials state that vacancies cannot be increased post-results and that demands do not align with rules. Support from State Congress leaders has been noted, while no government representatives have engaged with protesters so far.
