Bihar: Teachers protest against govt's decision to make teachers 'jasoos' for liquor mafias

Bihar Education Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary has clarified that the department has only appealed to the government teachers to keep an eye on the consumption of liquor in the state. It was just an advisory.

Following the decision, teachers' associations of Bihar threatened agitation. Some groups have already started protests. On Saturday, they burnt the copy of the directive issued by the education department at several places of Bihar.

They demanded from the state government to remove the burden of non-academic works from teachers. Unarmed teachers and their families cannot fight with liquor mafias of the state.
