[India] Protests: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Teachers and non-teaching staff staged a peaceful protest in Cooch Behar city, West Bengal on April 9, 2025, demanding job reinstatement and publication of marksheets following a Supreme Court ruling. Minor scuffles with police resulted in two teachers falling ill, but the event remained low-severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Educational sector labor disputes in West Bengal could potentially affect local administrative functions if protests expand, but current scope appears limited to specific employment grievances rather than broader economic disruption.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of teacher protests to other districts in West Bengal or potential coordination with broader public sector labor movements
• Track any escalation in police response or shift from peaceful demonstration to more disruptive tactics
