Police made appropriate security arrangements and put barricades near BJP office. Over two dozen selected teachers were detained before they reached BJP office.

Several teachers having degrees in allied subjects like biotechnology, microbiology etc had appeared for teachers’ eligibility test and were selected. Their documents were also verified after selection but when it came to issuing appointment and joining letters, school education department said they were ineligible.
