Violence erupted again in Lucknow over the recruitment of 69,000 assistant teachers. The unrest was caused by candidates from reserved categories who claim that if a new merit list is created fairly, their names are likely to appear for appointment letters. In anticipation of this, these candidates had set up a protest camp in front of Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Maurya’s residence yesterday. Today, their demonstration shifted to the residence of State Cabinet Minister Ashish Patel. The ongoing protests highlight growing dissatisfaction and tension over the recruitment process, with candidates demanding transparency and fairness in the preparation of the merit list. The situation remains tense as authorities are pressured to address the concerns of the protesting candidates.
