Job Loss and Difficulties
The Supreme Court had earlier ordered the removal of 25,753 teaching and non-teaching staff. The court said the 2016 hiring process was not proper. Non-teaching staff who lost jobs said they have no salary for six months. This has caused them many problems. The protesters want to meet the education minister to share their concerns about the new hiring notice.
The education department is yet to respond to the protesters demands. Follow The Rising News for more verified updates.
