Lucknow:
A large number of Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) and Bachelor of
Physical Education (B.P.Ed) degree holders demanding they be
appointed as teachers in primary schools were baton-charged as
they tried to march towards the state assembly here Monday, police
said.
Shouting anti-government slogans, the B.P.Ed and B.Ed degree
holders, who had assembled here from various parts of Uttar
Pradesh, forced their way through the barriers near the Jhulelal
Park, while trying to march towards the Vidhan Sabha when the
proceedings were underway.
The degree holders accused the state government of not taking
adequate steps for generating employment, and demanded their
appointment as teachers in primary schools.
"When prevented from marching towards the Vidhan Sabha, the
protesters turned unruly and even clashed with the police. It was
then we had to resort to baton charge in order to disperse them,"
said police inspector Bhanu Singh.
"Security in the area has been beefed up in order to avert any
fresh incident of violence," he added.
