The Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, visited the protest and promised to decide on the system before Teachers' Day.
He also said the government would consider withdrawing the system if needed.

The Chief Minister announced the withdrawal of suspensions, departmental inquiries, and FIRs against protesting teachers.
