Mysuru: Over 1,500 Government Primary School teachers, under the aegis of Karnataka State Primary School Teachers Association, Mysuru district, took out a rally from the office of the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) to the DC’s office to mark their protest against the amendments made to the Cadre & Recruitment Rules.
