Resentment among teachers after withdrawal of regularisation order in Odisha schools

Odisha's School and Mass Education Department has withdrawn regularisation order for 16,000 contractual teachers, causing unrest. The decision, reversed five days post-announcement, lacks clear explanation. On August 2, the S&ME Department had issued a letter that promised regular appointments and grade pay revisions for teachers who had been serving on a contractual basis for over six years.
