[India] Protests: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 9, 2025, thousands of teachers and non-teaching staff in West Bengal staged protests by blocking roads and locking offices across multiple districts, demanding job reinstatement and publication of marksheets following a Supreme Court ruling. The protests were centered around Kolkata and classified as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and escalated, road blockages in West Bengal could potentially disrupt regional goods movement, but second-order effects depend on the duration and geographic scope of any sustained disruptions.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation of the protest scale and any expansion beyond educational sector grievances
• Track whether road blockages persist or spread to major commercial transport corridors in West Bengal
