India: Unionized teachers plan strike and protests across Chhattisgarh State Oct. 24

Unionized teachers plan to strike across Chhattisgarh State on Oct. 24 to demand better working conditions and wage increases. Union leaders announced plans to hold associated rallies across all district headquarters within the state on the day. Although the time of these rallies have not been made public, demonstrations typically occur between late morning and early afternoon. The strike may be canceled if officials agree to meet the union's demands.

Potential gathering sites include transport hubs, prominent government buildings, particularly education centers, traffic intersections, sports centers, and public squares. While participation will vary by locale, well-attended gatherings in urban centers like Jagdalpur and Bilaspur could attract several thousand participants.

Authorities will likely monitor any potential gatherings and may disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators could march along or block roadways, prompting further localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions
