- UP State Bureau

Even after the Uttar Pradesh government cancelled the merger of over 5,000 schools, thousands of teachers have yet to return to their original postings.

In Lucknow alone, around 40 primary and upper primary schools are functioning with only one teacher. Basic Education Officers are reportedly calling teachers personally to urge them to report back, while similar situations persist across districts including Unnao, Hardoi, and Shami.
