Over 50 contract teachers and 10 policemen sustained
injuries in a clash between agitating contract teachers and police at R-Block
round about in Patna
on March 5, 2013. Police resorted to lathicharge when agitating teachers, who
have been on strike for the past couple of days, demanding equal salary with
Government teachers, tried to break open the iron gate of the R Block round
about, on their way to Bihar Vidhan Sabha. The area from R-Block to new market
turned into a battle field. Police also used water cannons and teargas shells
to quell the violent teachers who engaged in brick-batting and
stone-pelting with the police.
Several vehicles including a city service bus and a police
jeep were burnt by the agitating teachers, police said.
