Massive Kolkata Protest Over Exam Leaks

A big protest happened in Kolkata on Friday.

Students, teachers, and citizens marched from Sealdah to Esplanade to protest against exam paper leaks.

They wanted the Education Minister to resign.

The protest started in the afternoon and grew very large, with over 50,000 people joining.

When they reached Esplanade’s Dorina Crossing, some protesters threw stones and shoes at the police.

The police tried to clear the road, but the protesters didn't want to move.

There was a big fight between the students and the police.

Many people, including a headmistress and a law aspirant, shared their personal stories and concerns about the education system.

The protest was one of the largest and most spontaneous Kolkata has seen in a while.
