Teachers from Rewa and Shahdol districts arrived at Neelam Park in Bhopal to continue the indefinite strike, while a statewide fast and satyagraha is scheduled for Gandhi Jayanti on October 2.
The teachers' indefinite strike in Bhopal entered its fifth day on Friday, with protestors maintaining a sit‑in at Neelam Park. The demonstration, which began earlier this month, has drawn attention from education officials across Madhya Pradesh.
On the fifth day, educators from the Rewa and Shahdol divisions travelled to the capital and joined the sit‑in at Neelam Park, reinforcing the numbers of the ongoing protest. Their presence underscores the growing discontent among teachers in the region over pending issues.
State authorities have announced that on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2, teachers across all district headquarters in Madhya Pradesh will observe a fast and conduct a satyagraha. The coordinated action is intended to amplify the demands of the striking educators.
The protest remains open‑ended, with organisers stating that the strike will continue until their grievances are addressed by the government.
