Several teachers and members of the teachers' associations were detained by the police in the city on Monday.
Following the 'Chalo CMO' call given by teachers' associations, led by the United Teachers Forum, against the contributory pension scheme (CPS), the city police cordoned off several roads and deployed personnel to prevent the entry of protestors into Guntur district at Kanakadurga Varadhi and Prakasam Barrage.
The police posted pickets at the Pundit Nehru Bus Station, railway station and other areas and foiled the bid of several teachers, who came in groups and held placards.
