Students Protest Teacher Transfer in Jharkhand's Garhwa District, Clashes Reported
In Jharkhand's Garhwa district, students protested the transfer of teacher Malay Kumar Singh from Kandi Plus-2 High School, blocking a main road for several hours. The protest, ongoing for three days, escalated after a confrontation with Kandi block chief Pinku Pandey, who was slapped by a student and fled to a police station. Authorities are working to resolve the situation, with police increasing presence and efforts to persuade students to end the agitation. The education department initially ordered the transfer but later reconsidered.
