In West Bengal, the Deserving Teachers' Rights Forum has called for a march to the WBSSC headquarters, demanding an end to joblessness induced by a Supreme Court order. Members seek resolution to the 2016 recruitment impasse that left thousands jobless.
The proposed march, scheduled for August 18, faces scrutiny as police claim to have intercepted plans of violence among participants, highlighting concerns over public safety. Officials advise peaceful protests amid legal and ethical disputes.
Forum executives refute violence allegations, maintaining their commitment to peaceful advocacy. They aim to negotiate with WBSSC for the swift resolution of the issue and reinstatement of affected teachers, emphasizing nonviolent demonstration as their principal strategy.
