A clash broke out between police personnel and agitating teachers in New Baneshwor on Sunday.

The clash ensued after the protestors tried to enter the prohibited zone.

The Nepal Teachers’ Federation gave continuation to the protest after a meeting with the government on Saturday ended without making a concrete decision.

The teachers hurled stones at police while attempting to breach the prohibited area, prompting security personnel to respond with a water cannon.

Earlier on Saturday, the teachers had announced that they would breach the prohibited area on Sunday.

During the protest in Maitighar today, they chanted various slogans like the government address the demands of teachers and promulgate a progressive School Education Act among others.

The teachers have been staging protests in Kathmandu for the past 26 days.
