The protesters alleged that the police have arrested some teachers who were getting medical care in the hospital.
Earlier, the Primary Teachers Association staged a protest against lowering the pension in the name of reforms. They called for a change in the current service structure of primary teachers and the promotion of headmasters to Grade 16 and 17.
Due to the protest, GT Road remained blocked for many hours resulting in massive gridlocks in the surrounding areas.
