J&K Govt Sacks Two More School Teachers

Srinagar- The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday sacked two more school teachers, including the one who remained unauthorisedly absent from duties for the last 19 years.

The Director of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) issued separate orders on Monday stating that these teachers have remained absent unauthorisedly from their legitimate duties.

One among the teachers posted at the Primary School Khumriyal, Kupwara has not resumed her duties since July 1, 2002, the order reads.

It further adds that the teacher was provided an opportunity to be heard by DSEK on 06-07-2021 wherein she was directed to present herself before the directorate along with a statement of defense within seven days.

DSEK said that the teacher responded the notice on 15-07-2021 but on its examination it was found unsatisfactory and unsubstantiated and could not justify her long unauthorized absence
