Police block thousands of 'cockroach' protesters marching on India's parliament
Some protesters demanding education reforms said they werew injured in clashes with police who banned the march.
Police in India blocked thousands of protesters from marching toward parliament in a demonstration linked to demands for education reform, according to BBC World.
The group, described by the BBC as “cockroach” protesters, had gathered for a planned march that authorities did not allow to proceed. The feed summary says some of the demonstrators reported being injured during clashes with police after the march was banned.
The protest appears to have centered on calls for changes in the education system, though the available public feed material does not provide further detail on the specific reforms being sought. It also does not state how many people were hurt or describe the extent of their injuries.
Police intervention prevented the march from reaching India’s parliament, reflecting tensions between demonstrators pressing for reform and officials moving to stop the rally. Based on the limited feed summary, the confrontation took place during attempts to push ahead with the banned protest.
