Teachers of the Tamilnadu Elementary schools protested in Chennai on Wednesday. More than 3,000 members of the Tamil Nadu Elementary School Teachers’ Federation took to the streets in front of the Government Guest House in Chepauk, their list of demands including salary on par with Central government teachers and reintroduction of the old pension scheme.
The agitating teachers were secured in batches by the police and stationed at the Rajaratnam Stadium in Egmore. A protest by the trade unions at the same location was nullified due to the massive turnout of teachers.
