Puducherry government school students protest over lack of teachers

Students of Sinthanai Chirpy Singaravelar Government High School in Veerampattinam, Puducherry, staged a road roko on Thursday (November 6, 2025) to highlight the issue of lack of teaching staff in the school.

The students, along with their parents, began the protest with a demonstration in front of the school but later decided to stage a road roko. The students said around seven teaching posts have been vacant for a long time.

They said the learning process has become difficult for them in the absence of teachers. They withdrew the protest after the school authorities held talks with the parents and assured them of steps to fill the vacancies.
