|May 13, 2025
The "untainted" or "genuine" secondary and higher secondary teachers in West Bengal, who lost their jobs following a Supreme Court order last month, have now decided to hold more protests in front of the headquarters of the state education department at Salt Lake in the northern outskirts of Kolkata from Thursday onwards.
Such "untainted" teachers, united under the forum christened "Jogyo ShikhokShikkika Adhikar Mancha (Genuine Teachers' Rights Forum)", since 7 May, had been on a peaceful sit-indemonstration in front of the state education department headquarters, demanding immediate publication of lists segregating the "untainted" ones from the "tainted" ones.
