[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Teachers and non-teaching staff conducted a road-blocking protest in Raiganj city, West Bengal on April 9, 2025, demanding job reinstatement and publication of marksheets following a Supreme Court ruling. The protest was classified as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar protests spread across West Bengal's transportation network.

• Track any escalation in protest tactics or government response that might disrupt broader transportation corridors
