Congress demands to solve irregularities in transfers of teachers

Alleging huge irregularities in the transfers of teachers and lecturers, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju on Sunday demanded a high-level probe against Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Kadiyam Srihari and Commissioner of Collegiate Education Navin Mittal for their alleged involvement.

In a letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday, Dr Sravan alleged that the web counselling was a big farce with some teachers managing to get transfers to places of their choice on payment of money. Even a few leaders of teachers unions allegedly played the role of middlemen, bringing shame to the entire fraternity, he alleged.The state government had issued a GO 182 on May 21, 2016 permitting transfer of employees within the same local cadre, on ‘spouse grounds’.
