The United Temporary Teachers Central Struggle Committee has been on hunger strike for three days in the Capital, demanding their permanency through normal process.

More than 30,000 teachers from across the country are working on a temporary basis and have announced protest, demanding to scrap the discriminatory vacancy announcements.

One of the participants, Shanti Shahi from Jumla said that they had been teaching for the past 25 years, but the state had adopted a discriminatory policy on the temporary teachers, ignoring their demands.
