Police have registered cases against 650 secondary-grade teachers in Chennai for staging protests without permission while pressing their demand for equal pay for equal work.
The action was taken after the teachers continued their agitation for the tenth consecutive day. Protesters assembled on Sivananda Salai in the Triplicane area and held a demonstration as part of their ongoing campaign.
According to police sources, the Triplicane police booked the teachers under three sections of law, citing violation of norms related to unauthorised protests. Officials said the cases were registered as the demonstration was conducted without prior approval.
The protest is part of a series of agitations held by secondary-grade teachers at various locations across the city over the past ten days. Police confirmed that a total of ten cases have been registered so far in connection with these protests.
Despite the cases filed against them, reports indicate that the secondary-grade teachers plan to continue their agitation, with further protests expected in the coming days.
