Over 500 women teachers in Chhattisgarh protested their termination, enduring harsh conditions at the Tuta demonstration site for over a month. Teachers like Mamta Negi and Neelam Mandavi shared their struggles, including overcrowded accommodations, inadequate toilets, open bathing, and limited food. Despite the freezing temperatures and health issues, they remained resolute, demanding reinstatement. Many, like Suman Gangasagar and Mamta Dhruv, expressed despair over the government’s inaction, stating their jobs were earned through merit and were a source of dignity. Protesters organized peaceful demonstrations, including hunger strikes, silent marches, and community activities. Some fell severely ill due to adverse weather and fasting, with medical assistance being sporadic. Teachers with young children highlighted additional hardships, struggling to meet their children’s basic needs. The terminated teachers, many of whom are unmarried, feared societal and family pressures, expressing a loss of faith in the system if their jobs were not restored. |
