Teachers’ community leaders Rajkishor Mishra, Ram Mohan Shahi, Balwant Singh and many others blamed that the bureaucrats were persuading the harassing attitude and demanded stringent action against CDO and their colleagues.

They pointed out that the teachers of all inter colleges would go on an indefinite strike and launch court arrest, if the state government did not punish the officials.

He appealed the teachers’ community leaders to welcome the state president of the association and MLC Omprakash Sharma who would arrive here on November 28.
