Teachers in Odisha have been staging a protest at the Lower Primary Management Group office in Bhubaneswar for two weeks, and the agitation remains ongoing.
Bhubaneswar, Odisha – A group of teachers has been holding a continuous demonstration at the Lower Primary Management Group (Lower PMG) office in the state capital for the past 14 days. The protest, which began two weeks ago, shows no sign of abating as participants remain on the streets demanding attention to their grievances.
Organisers have kept the agitation peaceful, with teachers gathering daily at the premises and voicing concerns through placards and slogans. Local authorities have been monitoring the situation, but no official statement on negotiations or resolutions has been released so far.
The sustained demonstration underscores growing discontent among the teaching community in Odisha, highlighting the need for dialogue between educators and the government. As the protest enters its third week, observers note that any resolution will likely depend on direct talks between the teachers' representatives and the education department.
The Lower PMG office, a key administrative hub for primary education in the state, has become the focal point of the agitation, drawing attention from media outlets and the public alike. Stakeholders are urged to seek an amicable settlement to avoid further disruption to school operations.
Until a consensus is reached, the teachers have pledged to maintain their presence at the site, signaling that the issue remains unresolved and may extend beyond the current fortnight of protest.
