Srinagar- The School Education Department Tuesday said it will withhold salaries of teaching staff who are evading Annual Transfer Drive 2023 despite having more than three years stay period.

Director of School Education Jammu (DSEJ) has said that the teachers who have stay of three or more years will have to apply for the transfers
“Some of the teachers who have a stay of three or more years have a concept that they will go unnoticed if they didn’t apply for their transfer but I want to inform those teachers that if they didn’t apply for it, they will definitely get transferred to Zone-IV and V,” DSEJ said.
Earlier, the department in the Annual Transfer Drive announcement has said that eligible employees not applying for transfer despite having a mature stay shall be transferred by the Department anywhere as per the requirement of the Department.
