Two dozen teachers protesting outside Chief Minister House in Karachi were detained by baton-charging police officers in the port city. Headteachers had come to the CM House to stage sit-in wherein they were demanding the provincial government to regularise their services. “Around 15 male and 10 female teachers with bleeding head and nose have been taken away in police mobile,” Siddique Dal, one of the protesters said. Soon after their exam in 2017, the Sindh government had announced to induct them as permanent employees based on their performance. We have already served four years in the department and still continue the job,” Saleem Ahmed, a teacher said.
