Unemployed teachers, protesting against the SSC recruitment scam, gathered at Hazra Chowrasta in Kolkata today to march toward the Chief Minister's residence in Kalighat. The protestors aimed to raise their concerns over the alleged irregularities in the recruitment process, demanding justice and a transparent investigation. However, Kolkata Police intervened, halting their march at Hazra More.
As the protestors attempted to move forward, police set up barricades to prevent them from advancing. Tensions escalated when some individuals reportedly tried to breach the barricades, leading to a strict police response. Several teachers were detained by the authorities during the standoff.
The protestors claimed they were committed to peaceful demonstrations and only sought to deliver their message to the Chief Minister. Despite their efforts to remain non-confrontational, the police detained them as a precautionary measure, citing unauthorized gathering and potential disruption. The protest highlights the ongoing dissatisfaction among teachers regarding the recruitment process.
