Even though the Odisha Assembly session has concluded, protests by teachers over various demands show no signs of slowing down. On Friday, the Odisha Combined Forum of Art and Physical Education Teachers staged a dharna in front of the Assembly, intensifying their long-standing demand for job regularisation.

The protesting teachers claimed they have been working in schools across the state since 2013, but have yet to receive permanent appointments. Many of them allege that despite a decade of service, they continue to work under unstable contractual conditions, with no job security or defined service benefits.

The forum members stated that repeated appeals to the government have gone unanswered, leaving them with no option but to continue their agitation.
