Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): District collector’s surprise inspection of government schools here on Wednesday augured trouble for three principals, a few teachers and peons. Annoyed over the school staffers’ dereliction of duties, low turnout of students and unkempt premises, the district collector Asheesh Singh ordered suspension of a teacher and peon, while show cause notices were issued to three principals and two teachers.
Displeased over the low turnout of children at anganwadi, the collector ordered to terminate the services of the anganwadi worker.
During the inspection of Suraj Nagar Higher Secondary School, the collector found that all other works excluding teaching were carried out at the school. He ordered a show cause notice to principal Vandana Upadhyay and also withholding her salary increment with immediate effect. Order was also issued to deduct the one-day salary of another employee, Varsha.
Anganwadi Worker Terminated
At anganwadi number 1074, the collector found against the enrolled 80 children only 13 children had turned up and even their records were not being maintained.
