More than 13,000 junior teachers from government schools protested in Bhubaneswar on Thursday demanding regularisation of their jobs and an end to the contractual system. The demonstrators, under the banner of Odisha Junior Teachers' Association, gathered at Lower PMG and Mahatma Gandhi Marg. They alleged that the Odisha government's notification issued on April 2 for regularisation has not been implemented.
Protesters said the High Court stayed the notification days after its release, and the state government has yet to file an affidavit in the case. Association president Shesadev Yajnakam Deo accused the government of delaying the process. Odishatv.in quoted an agitator saying the government's announcement has remained confined to offices. New Indian Express reported the association threatened to take protests to all districts if the government does not act.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Odishatv.in and New Indian Express report the same core fact: 13,000 junior teachers protesting over a stalled regularisation notification. Odishatv.in foregrounds a single protester's emotional account of repeated court dates and broken promises, framing the issue as administrative neglect. New Indian Express leads with the association president's formal demand and a threat to widen protests, giving the story a tactical, next-step shape. Neither source reports a government response or a scheduled hearing, leaving the key question of when the High Court will hear the affidavit unanswered. The tribunal's next hearing date will determine if the protest escalates.
