A senior police officer said the teachers wanted to go to the national capital by rolling on the road, but were hesitant to do so.
“The agitators said they would roll over from the martyr memorial and move to Delhi. We did not allow it,” the official said. The agitators were pushed back towards the protest site and additional forces were deployed in the area to maintain law and order, the official said.
The para teachers have alleged that the state government ignored their demand for regularization and made them go to Delhi to protest outside the Congress office.
REET-2021 was conducted in September to fill around 31,000 posts of teachers. REET candidates are demanding from the state government to increase the number of posts to 50,000.
