Computer subject teachers of Gujarat who protested their non-inclusion in the recent recruitment drive were detained by the police in Gandhinagar today. With no move by the state government to hire teachers in permanent roles or announcing a vacancy for a computer teacher, the teachers were agitating to raise their demand.

The Gujarat government had announced the recruitment of over 24,700 teachers in government schools following the agitation by the TET-TAT candidates last month. However, no announcements were made for teachers of the computer subject.

Computer teachers from across Gujarat today gathered at the state Secretariat in Gandhinagar to discuss the issue with the Gujarat Education Minister Kuber Dindol.

After meeting with Dindol, the teachers began to raise slogans outside the old Secretariat gate, demanding the recruitment of 800 teachers. Following this, the police detained the teachers.

Sources said that even though the teachers received a positive response from Dindol, the demand was to make that response public.
