Unionized teachers to observe protest marches in parts of Bihar State, India, Nov. 19. Increased security, related disruptions likely.
Unionized teachers will hold protest marches in parts of Bihar State on Nov. 19. The purpose of the action is to denounce the government's decision to distribute appointment letters without allegedly addressing the issue of continuity of service for teachers. Participants will march in several areas at approximately 17:00, including from near JK High School to Canteen Chowk in Begusarai and from KRK Ground to the District Collectorate office in Lakhisarai.
Related demonstrations could occur at other locations on the same day. Potential gathering sites include prominent government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Participation will probably vary by location, with larger gatherings likely attracting thousands of attendees.
Authorities will likely monitor any such rallies and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators will likely march along or block roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are possible.
As a precaution, avoid any demonstrations that materializes. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near gathering sites. Plan accordingly for possible localized business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
