The call was given by the Mizoram Government School Teachers Union (MIGOSTU).
The union has been demanding the reinstatement of schools that have been provincialized during the previous government.
It is alleged that the provincialized status given to several schools by the previous Mizo National Front (MNF) government was revoked by the present Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) government headed by Chief Minister Lalduhoma under the pretext of lapses in rules that require amendment.
