KARACHI: Police officials charged the protesting educators from different government schools with batons after they attempted to enter the Red Zone near Karachi Press Club on Sunday evening.
The teachers appointed on contract basis in different educational institutes are protesting outside the Karachi Press Club (KPC), demanding the government to make their employment permanent.
Police lodged baton charge to disperse the protestors when they walked towards the ‘Red Zone’ after expressing outrage against the Sindh government.
Subsequently, a teacher was rendered unconscious and was taken to a hospital.
However, the teachers refused to clear the road and started chanting slogans against the provincial government for its attempts to suppress their protests.
The rally was stopped at Scout Office near Arts Council roundabout as the police blocked road linking to the Sindh Assembly building.
A team of negotiators from the provincial administration also arrived in to hold talks with the protesting teachers.
