In April, the Delhi government had sent the LG a proposal to regularize 17,000 guest teachers so that they are given priority if they apply for permanent positions. Reportedly the file was sent to LG Jung’s office on April 28. Confident of its outcome, Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia made the proposal public and Delhiites received Sisodia’s pre-recorded phone calls congratulating contractual teachers for the success of summer camps. In the calls, Sisodia said that the regularisation process would start in due course once the file, which had been sent to the LG’s office, was cleared.
