Initially, members of the Adhyapak Shikshak Sanyukt Morcha launched an indefinite protest at Neelam Park. Their primary demands included exemptions from the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for currently serving teachers, more equitable seniority calculations for pension and gratuity benefits, and making the mandatory e-attendance system voluntary. Following these demonstrations, merit-holding candidates for Class 2 and Class 3 teacher recruitments also initiated protests. These demonstrators are demanding the immediate issuance of appointment letters for approximately 850 candidates and the payment of two months of overdue salaries. Tensions escalated when police detained several protesters at Roshanpura Crossing during an attempt to march toward the Chief Minister’s residence, leading to allegations of police force being used against peaceful demonstrators. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-14: Bhopal teacher candidates protest for appointments and salary Teacher recruitment candidates in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, are protesting for appointment letters, unpaid salaries, and post increments, leading to police detentions of demonstrators. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bhopal-teacher-candidates-protest-for-appointments-and-salary ### 2026-09-27: Teachers in Bhopal protest against TET mandate and seniority issues Teachers in Bhopal have begun an indefinite protest demanding TET exemptions, seniority adjustments from their first appointment, and making e-attendance voluntary. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/teachers-in-bhopal-protest-against-tet-mandate-and-seniority-issues --- Cite as: Madhya Pradesh teacher protests in Bhopal.
