The Story in Brief
Kerala Lower Primary School Teacher rank holders ate grass outside the state Secretariat on Saturday, protesting a delay in appointment orders. The agitation has entered its 34th day. The Kerala Public Service Commission published the rank list on May 31 last year, but the government has not issued posts. It asked for two months to process the orders, but protesters say no action has been taken. Separately, Kerala Police has formed an SIT to probe alleged irregularities in PSC examinations for chief-level posts.
The Indian Opinion
Eating grass is a powerful symbol of desperation, but it also risks trivialising a serious grievance. The government's two-month request feels arbitrary without explanation, while the SIT probe into PSC irregularities suggests deeper problems. Will the investigation finally produce a timeline, or will it become another excuse for inaction?
