Expressing their anger over manhandling of two teachers of Fateh Chand Jagdish Rai Inter College in Barabanki district by CDO, the members of Uttar Pradesh Intermediate Teachers Association (Sharma group) observed black day. They also handed over a memorandum to district magistrate demanding stringent action against CDO.
The classes in all intermediate colleges were remained suspended and teachers gathered at Rani Laxmibai Park. They organised a meeting, and shouted slogans against state government. They condemned the silence maintained by the state government officials over the issue. They further demanded that the college sports ground illegally possessed by a minister in the state cabinet should be evacuated.
