BHUBANESWAR: Following the Thursday’s violence at the Lower PMG, the incidence of face-off between the members of Odisha Secondary School Teachers’ Association (OSSTA) teachers and the police on Friday created another scene without violence. More than hundred of teachers were arrested when they tried to enter by breaking the police barricade.
Demanding full grant to the block
grant teachers and abolition of block grant system, hundreds of teachers led by
the OSSTA came in a procession starting from the Master canteen to the Lower
PMG and staged rally in front of the State assembly. After the
rally, the teachers started trying to march towards the Assembly by breaking
the police barricade.
Some of the teachers flaunted
placards and uttered slogans by climbing on the barricades, but the protest was
almost peaceful comparing Congress’s violent mob. Later morethan hundred
teachers were arrested by the police.
“We would come again with huge
mass and we untidely come to go to the jail. The Government has to prepare
jails to keep thousands of high school and college teachers,” OSSTA secretary
Raghunath Sahu.
