'DSEJ asked to proceed on leave' 10/3/2016 11:20:06 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Oct 3: As the ongoing protest against alleged pick and choose policy adopted in recent transfers of Masters and Lecturers, intensified on Tuesday, the incumbent Director School Education Jammu (DSEJ) is likely to face action for the gross violation of transfer policy norms, sources told Early Times. They said to pacify the agitating teachers the Department of School Education may send the incumbent Director on a forced leave while two teachers who were posted in the Directorate and were main culprits of the transfer mafia, have already been shifted. On the direction of Education Minister Naeem Akhtar, the Commissioner Secretary School Education Shalin Kabra is learnt to have told the Director to proceed on leave while a departmental inquiry is also likely to be ordered into the alleged violation of norms in the recent transfers of teachers, masters and lecturers. Earlier, the Commissioner Secretary had summoned the Director last week and purportedly sought clarification on the allegations of pick and choose in transfers. According to the sources, the Commissioner Secretary also asked the reason behind posting of two teachers in the Directorate, who were allegedly given a free hand in preparing the list of transfers and postings of Teachers/Masters/Lecturers. As the Director had no answer to the queries, sources said that the Commissioner Secretary directed her to immediately shift both the teachers from the Directorate to schools. However, despite shifting both the teachers, the agitating Jammu Kashmir Teachers Forum is still continuing with its chain hunger strike for the last eight days while a number of other organizations have come forward to support it. Yesterday, the JKTF announced to hold a massive rally in the Directorate on October 5. Since the schools in Kashmir are already lying closed due to the prevailing unrest for the last around three months, class work in several Jammu schools is also suffering because of ongoing protest of teachers for which the Education Department is solely responsible. Sensing gravity of the situation, sources said that the higher authorities have asked the incumbent Director to proceed on leave for three months so that someone else may be given temporary charge of the Directorate till the situation normalizes.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
