They repeatedly urged the officials and failed to get a proper response. Finally they took to protests seeking to change them as sought with options. Some of the teachers called on Education Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy and sought justice. They informed the minister about inconvenience caused through transfers to other locations than urged.

The police prevented them from holding protests and took them into custody. The police officials made tight security arrangements as teachers and the college lecturers are expected to storm the Pragathi Bhavan on their demands.

The Teachers are on war mode and demanding the government to amend the GO or cancel it. Also the congress and the BJP parties are demanding the government to stop harassing the teachers through the transfers with spouse options.

While many teachers sought spouse, zones, multi zones options they could not get the same and got transfers to other locations.
