All Primary Teachers Association (APTA) has decided to shut down all primary schools from the day after today after Peshawar Police’s baton fee and teargas shelling on the primary faculty instructors’ protest.
According to reports, the police took action after the academics’ negotiations with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Government failed.
Following the unsuccessful negotiations, the police attempted to disperse the protestors amassed in front of the KP Assembly through aerial firing, at the side of the baton charge, and tear gas shelling. As a result, the peaceful protestors began pelting stones at the police.
Consequently, two instructors and two policemen had been injured and have been moved to Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) in Peshawar.
In this regard, the Provincial President of APTA, Aziz Ullah, said that the protestors will no longer go back except their conditions are met and demanded answers from cops who devoted brutality to protestors.
It is pertinent to mention that the faculty instructors demanded promotions from their respective grades and growth in allowances.
Also, the Peshawar Police has detained over hundred and fifty teachers and has warned the protestors that they may be arrested if they arrive at GT Road. It additionally raided the Government Higher Secondary School at City No. 1 and arrested the teachers who tried to exit the faculty premises.
An FIR has also been filed against 213 protesting schoolteachers, who're accused of interfering with government affairs, vandalizing public property, and pelting stones at the police.
