A delegation of teachers in West Bengal, having lost their positions due to a Supreme Court decision, met with education department officials to negotiate reinstatement.

Despite extensive talks, the Deserving Teachers' Rights Forum withheld judgment on outcomes, pending internal discussions. Meanwhile, protests at Bikash Bhavan continue to escalate.
