Teachers from aided and partially aided schools have launched an agitation at the Azad Maidan in south Mumbai, claiming that the government has not increased grants to their institutes despite announcements. Also, whatever grants they receive are now being released in instalments, which hampers the management of their schools

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the government is positive about addressing the issues of teachers from aided and unaided schools who have been protesting in Mumbai, reported news agency PTI.
Speaking in the legislative council, he also hit out at the opposition, accusing it of playing politics over the matter.
It is not right if the teachers are indulging in politics, and it won't be tolerated, he said.
