• Approximately 14,000 of the 15,403 teachers deemed untainted have resumed duties, but errors in the provisional list have left some eligible teachers excluded.
• The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) is correcting discrepancies in the lists, including missing names and technical errors, and plans to release a revised version soon.
• Parallel protests continue, with untainted teachers demanding permanent job security and tainted candidates seeking a review of their classification and reinstatement.
