A protester is believed to be fighting for his life in hospital after accidentally setting himself on fire during a demonstration.
Sukhminder Singh Mann intended to light a government effigy at the rally for teachers’ contracts in Bathinda, India.

The teachers said that the Punjab government has not regularised their services even after them completing two-year contract with the state government.
The union members claimed that the government had made a two-year contract with more than 7,000 volunteers in 2014 and promised to regularise their services after completion of the agreement.
