Dhaka, Feb. 8 -- Police charged batons and used water cannons on protesting assistant teacher candidates on Wednesday after the High Court canceled the recruitment process for 6,531 government primary school teachers in Dhaka and Chattogram divisions.
The incident took place near the chief adviser's official residence, State Guest House Jamuna, around 3:30 PM, as law enforcement attempted to disperse demonstrators demanding reinstatement of their appointments.
According to protesters, police first charged batons and deployed water cannons in the morning. Later in the afternoon, officers resumed baton charges while bringing in water cannons again, although they were not used this time.
