After a 40-hour gherao, protesting jobless teachers allowed West Bengal SSC Chairman Siddhartha Majumdar to exit the commission's Salt Lake office on Wednesday morning. The demonstration, initiated on April 21 by approximately 2,000 teachers who lost jobs due to the Supreme Court's annulment of the 2016 recruitment panel, continues. Protesters demand the release of OMR sheets and a clear list distinguishing eligible candidates. Majumdar, scheduled to appear before the Calcutta High Court regarding the OMR sheets, met with a delegation, providing partial satisfaction by confirming 15,403 eligible teachers out of 17,206. The sit-in persists, with plans to gherao Majumdar again upon his return. (PC: PTI File photo)
