The determined stance of the students has left the remaining teachers in disarray, while the absence of senior officials from the Education Department has raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protest began with students locking the main gate of the school on Monday, refusing to attend classes. On Tuesday, they escalated their agitation by blocking the Bishnupur-Dharmanagar road from 11 AM, causing disruptions to regular traffic. Despite the ongoing protest for two consecutive days, neither the school authorities nor officials from the Education Department have shown any concern or visited the site to address the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-8023\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-760x428.avif 760w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aguli.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/f65db201-2a41-4595-a84c-fba520b1ef85-1.avif 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to reporters, the protesting students expressed their dissatisfaction over the transfer of Arpita Nath, the only arts teacher at the school, to another institution.
