Overview

  • Teachers labeled 'untainted' after the Supreme Court annulled the 2016 WBSSC recruitment have relocated their protest to Central Park, following a Calcutta High Court order.
  • The High Court barred police from taking coercive actions against protesters and stayed disciplinary show-cause notices issued over the May 15 clashes.
  • Protesters demand a meeting with Education Minister Bratya Basu by May 26, threatening intensified demonstrations if ignored.
  • The Supreme Court has outlined strict eligibility rules for fresh recruitment, excluding candidates with tampered OMR sheets or unjustified rank advancements.
  • The state government has filed review petitions in the Supreme Court, while protesters continue to advocate for job security and clarity on the recruitment process.
