"The government is working tirelessly to validate their appointments. It has already moved the Supreme Court seeking clarification on the operative part of its order and is also in the process of filing a review petition with the apex court in due course. The government stands with them on humanitarian grounds," Mr Pant said at a press conference at Nabanna today.

Referring to stray incidents of violence that occurred in various districts, Mr Pant said that the events were completely undesirable. He noted that police resorted to lathi charge after teachers tried to forcibly enter the DI office at Kasba.
