Kolkata: SFI, DYFI stage protest against alleged irregularities in primary teachers recruitment
They hosted a protest march from College Square to city's downtown Esplanade area and agitators blocked Dorina Crossing in central Kolkata followed by the rally.
When policemen tried to lift the blockade, they engaged in a scuffle with the protesters.
Later a heavy police force were deployed to the area and policemen restored to mild lathi charge to bring the situation under control.
SFI-DYFI leadership claimed that several party workers were injured during the 'unprovoked' lathi charge by police and a large number of protesters were arrested.
However, leaders of SFI and DYFI submitted a memorandum, describing their allegations and demands, before West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi.
