Teachers Protest in Bhubaneswar Over Lower PMG Policy

Teachers from several schools in Bhubaneswar gathered at the city’s central square to protest the newly introduced Lower PMG policy. The demonstrators, carrying placards and chanting slogans, called for a review of the policy’s impact on classroom resources and teacher workload.

The protest began in the early afternoon and has drawn a sizable crowd of educators, parents, and local residents. Organisers have urged the state education department to hold a meeting with teacher representatives to address their concerns.

Police have maintained order, and the protest is ongoing with no immediate disruptions reported to traffic or public transport. Authorities have promised to respond to the teachers’ demands in the coming days.
