UP teachers demand permanent jobs, tonsure heads in protest 
Many ad-hoc teachers including women tonsured their heads in Uttar Pradesh today to demand permanent jobs for those who have cleared the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). Their demand also includes compensation to families of teachers who lost their lives in previous protests against the state government. In May, Brahmin teachers relinquished their 'janeu' (sacred thread) as part of the protest.
