Chaos in Dhaka: Police and Teachers Clash Over Pay Hike – Dozens Hurt | APT

At least a dozen people were injured on November 8, in Dhaka as police used water cannons, teargas, and sound grenades to disperse hundreds of primary school teachers protesting for higher pay.

Teachers staged a sit-in demanding better salaries and structured benefits, a long-standing issue for many educators not covered by the government payroll system.

Police reported that some demonstrators tried to push through barricades and hurled bricks, prompting a forceful response. Several protesters were detained, and injuries were reported amid the chaotic scenes.
