In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, a hunger strike by teacher candidates demanding more vacancies for Grade-II and Grade-III positions came to an end on Saturday. The strike had been ongoing for 16 days. Former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh brought the protest to a close after meeting the candidates at Neelam Park. He then spoke with the school education minister, Uday Pratap Singh, via phone, assuring them that their demands had already been conveyed to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Following their meeting, it was agreed that a joint session would take place on Tuesday, bringing together representatives of both Grade-II and Grade-III teacher candidates and the minister.
In addition to the teacher candidates, thousands of guest teachers from across Madhya Pradesh gathered at Shahjahani Park on Saturday to protest their regularisation. They vowed not to submit any memoranda this time, instead choosing to register their opposition at the protest site. If their demands are not met, they threatened to launch an indefinite hunger strike on October 2.
