The Pioneer,Nov 18,2007
The agitation spilled over into Kalahandi district as thousands of teachers under the banner of the Orissa Secondary School Teachers' Association (OSSTA) took out a procession here on Saturday before reaching the district Collectorate to press their various demands, including abolition of Block-Grant-Aid and implementation of Grant-in-Aid.
When they reached the first gate of the Collectorate and forcibly entered the boundary of the court premises, the second gate was closed immediately by police personnel for security reasons.
The teachers shouted the slogan Siksha Banchao, Orissa Banchao. After an hour, ADM Brajakishore Majhi came to the second gate and received a memorandum submitted to him by the teachers' association leaders.
The schools have been closed since November 1 by the teachers, who have gone on an indefinite strike.
