The Story in Brief
Students from Jai Narayan School in Lucknow blocked traffic near Buddheshwar Chauraha on Mohan Road on Tuesday, protesting an acute shortage of teaching staff that has disrupted their classes. The road blockade caused congestion in the Para area before police cleared the route in about 15 minutes. Even after the road reopened, the students continued their demonstration, demanding immediate action to fill vacant posts. Times Now reports that the protest has drawn attention to the impact of staff shortages on students' education.
