Mumbai witnessed a statewide protest by the Maharashtra Rajya Shikshak Sena on Wednesday, as they demanded the reconsideration of a rule requiring school principals to obtain a food licence for serving mid-day meals. The peaceful demonstration took place at the Brihanmumbai Education Inspector’s Office in Jogeshwari East. The teachers' organization expressed concerns that mandating principals to obtain the licence would burden their administrative duties.
Similar protests were organized outside Zilla Parishad offices throughout Maharashtra. The district units of the organization were instructed to submit a memorandum addressed to the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, Tukaram Munde, to the respective district Chief Executive Officers.
The demonstration, described as a peaceful democratic protest, involved school principals, teachers, and non-teaching staff. The Maharashtra Rajya Shikshak Sena has urged authorities to reconsider the licensing requirement for mid-day meal providers and consider the additional administrative strain it could impose on school heads.
