Unemployed Teachers Detained While Seeking Meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
in a surprising turn of events, six unemployed female teachers were detained by police at Kalighat while attempting to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The teachers, part of the Yoga Teachers’ rights Platform, sought clarification on why they were required to take an examination after serving honorably for a decade. Their attempt to engage in a dialog was thwarted due to a lack of permission, leading to their detention.
the incident unfolded on Thursday morning when the teachers arrived at the Chief Minister’s residence, hoping to discuss their concerns. They emphasized that their intention was not to protest but to seek answers regarding their employment status. Despite their long-standing commitment to education, they found themselves unable to voice their grievances directly to the Chief Minister. This situation highlights the ongoing struggles faced by many in the education sector, raising questions about the policies affecting job security and the treatment of dedicated educators in West Bengal.
