Patiala, December 19
Several unemployed ETT teachers — who were protesting against the state government — were injured when police allegedly resorted to lathi-charge, here on Saturday.
Police allegedly ‘cane-charged’ the protesters when they tried to scale the barricades near YPS roundabout — barely hundred metre from the Chief Minister’s residence.
The teachers initially started a peaceful protest after they were given verbal assurance of solution over their demands. After waiting for half-an-hour, they tried to march towards CM’s residence and police “cane-charged” the teachers, including women.
The protesting teachers said the state government was not serious to advertise the jobs and had been dilly-dallying for years now.
