“Now that SSC is forced to publish a list of ‘disqualified’ candidates, although it is faulty, the state government nominated the 15,000-odd ‘qualified’ teachers in the House and made a proposal in the House and said that they should be allowed to maintain their jobs. The official said.

He said, “If the vacancies still persist, the state can move forward and fill them through the examination conducted through a transparent process,” he said.

The BJP leader also spoke to a part of the protesting teachers, outside the assembly premises, demanded an all-party resolution on the matter. “I think it would be difficult for you to start preparing for the exams that you had already taken nine years ago. That is why we are trying to resolve the crisis with the government,” Adhikari was heard saying this to the agitating teachers.

Welcoming the move, the teachers said that it could be a final attempt to save their jobs well which were earned on the basis of merit. “If this effort makes it frightening, it will set an example in the event of a gross injustice that we are at the end,” Chinmaya Mondal said, an agitating teacher who represents ‘unpublished’ candidates.

Under the leadership of the officer, BJP MLAs later held a protest rally within the assembly premises, blamed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and demanded her resignation.

,Chakri Tumi Korkho Churi, Gadi Chaudho Taratari (You have stolen the jobs, now once vacated your chair), read posters made by opposition legislators who sports a caricature, possibly the Chief Minister’s.

Petitioner and advocate Gunaratna Sadavurt, who approached the court against the movement, argued that the city was “hostage” and political support from opposition parties was alleged. He said that even school children and different passengers were stranded due to traffic blockade.

Sadavart further accused the protesters of bringing liquor to the city, claiming that the law had failed to perform enforcement.

For businesses, disruption has been expensive. Veeran Shah, president of the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association, said, “While it is his right to protest, as traders, we have to throw light on that our businesses are affected. The growing crowd is creating significant inconvenience to the people trying to travel.”

The crisis has also expressed concern about public safety. The court said that even the vehicles of judges were interrupted, while the photographs submitted by the government were shown spreading in areas such as Flora Fountain, CSMT station and Marine Drive. Schools in the surrounding area declared the ad-hock holidays, with students stuck in traffic for hours.

As soon as the movement entered its fourth day, Gerange claimed that his three supporters had died since the onset of his fast. Nevertheless, he said that the movement would continue until the state worked immediately.

The High Court’s intervention has focused on the government, which is now under pressure to balance the law and order with a politically sensitive Maratha reservation issue. With the expectation of more protesters to put in Mumbai, the bench clearly asked the state: “If the law is being violated, why don’t you ask them to stop protesting?”

For now, the city waits for Tuesday’s hearing, showing no signs of ebbing with the Maratha Kota movement.
