BJP’s protest march to the SSC Bhavan turned chaotic on Friday as party workers clashed with police at Karunamayi. The rally, organized against alleged irregularities in teacher recruitment, was stopped by Bidhannagar police, leading to scuffles.
Protesters tried to break police barricades, forcing security personnel to intervene. Several BJP workers managed to breach the first layer of barricades but were stopped near the SSC Bhavan entrance, where another round of clashes occurred. As tensions escalated, BJP supporters staged a sit-in protest, blocking the main road and raising slogans.
The situation caused traffic disruptions, prompting a heavy police deployment. Authorities detained multiple protesters to restore order. BJP leaders condemned the police action, while the administration maintained that law and order had to be upheld. No major injuries were reported, but security was heightened in the area to prevent further disturbances.
