Security Tightened at Bhopal DPI After Protest and Alleged Altercation with Officials
In Bhopal, entry to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) headquarters is now restricted to valid pass holders following a protest by primary teacher candidates and ABVP workers. The protest escalated when ABVP members allegedly manhandled Commissioner Abhishek Singh and used abusive language, leading to physical confrontations with officials. DPI employees staged a two-hour pen-down strike in response, demanding improved security. The school education secretary announced enhanced security measures and acknowledged employee unity after discussions with a delegation.
