  "account": "Guest teachers in Haryana's government schools have been on an indefinite protest in Kurukshetra for 77 days, demanding the regularisation of their services. The teachers, who have been working on a contractual basis against sanctioned posts since 2005, claim that recent Supreme Court and High Court judgments strengthen their case for regularisation. The protest is led by the Rajkiya Anubandhit Adhyapak Sangh, which has two teachers sitting on 24-hour rotation. The teachers are demanding the implementation of the State government's regularisation policies from 2014, which were framed by the Congress regime. However, the government has not yet initiated the process of regularisation. The teachers argue that they have fulfilled all conditions prescribed under the policies but were not regularised, unlike other teachers covered by the same policy. The dispute revolves around two regularisation policies - a three-year policy and a 10-year policy - and the association has linked its demand to the BJP's 2014 election manifesto. The government had put the 2014 regularisation policy on hold in 2015 for a review, but it was lifted in 2016. The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the three-year policy in April 2023 while quashing the 10-year policy. The teachers have since approached the High Court seeking implementation of the three-year policy. The teachers are now focused on implementation of the court orders rather than any fresh policy, demanding that the government begin the regularisation process immediately.",
