Bhubaneswar: 27/8/17:The Block Grant (BG) school and college teachers of western Odisha celebrated their Nuakhai festival at their dharna site at Gandhi Marg here on Saturday, the eleventh day of the BG teachers’ agitation.

Offering Prasad to goddess Samaleswari, they celebrated Nuakhai along with their colleagues from other parts of the State.

With the teachers’ meeting with State Government officials ending without any results on Thursday, they were left with no choice but to observe the festival on the road, they said.
