Cane-charge on teachers in Dispur

Several persons have been injured when police tried to disperse a group of non provincialized schol teachers who were staging dharna at Dispur on Monday. The incident took place at Dispur Last Gate when over 250 teachers from the non provincialised schools thronged at Dispur Last Gate and started staging dharna on Monday even as the government offices are remaining closed on account of Eid-ul-Juha.

According to information, as police tried to pacify the agitating teachers the situation turned violent when some of the protesters started pelting stones at the police personnel. This has forced the police to retaliate with lathicharge and even tear shells were thrown to disperse the irate teachers.
