Mamata extends ‘fifth and final’ invite to protesting doctors for meeting
In a letter emailed to the protesting doctors, Chief Secretary Manoj Pant said that this is the "fifth and final" invitation for talks and urged them to have an "open mind."
On the occasion of Teachers’ Day, chief minister Mamata Banerjee paid rich tributes to Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and respect to the teaching community.
The day is the birthday of educationist and former President Dr S Radhakrishnan.
She said teachers are the backbone of the society and the source of inspiration and strength. It may be recalled that after coming to power in 2011, she made it mandatory that the students of all the state-run colleges should pay respect to the teachers on Teachers’ Day.

She further wrote in her X handle: “Our teachers are our guides, pillars of our inspiration and strength. They are the backbones of our society. We will always be grateful to them for guiding us through our formative years, and even later. Apart from our parents, they are the only ones before whom we bow our heads in respect. My heartiest greetings to all the teachers, students and non teaching staff on this very special day.”
