The Congress has alleged irregularities in teachers and lecturers transfers and demanded a high-level probe against Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari and Commissioner of Collegiate Education Navin Mittal for their alleged involvement.
In an open letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao on Sunday, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief spokesperson Sravan Dasoju alleged that even few leaders of teacher unions had a role in the transfers. He said although the process of transfers has been completed on June 30, the transfers of degree college lecturers are still going on in the name of ‘On Duty’. He alleged that illegal transfers include 15 transfers in Karimnagar, Warangal (14), Adilabad (12), Khammam (10), Mahabubnagar (12) and Medak (8)., 6 each in Nalgonda and Nizamabad, and 4 in Ranga Reddy. He said so far 142 transfers have been made in the name of ‘On Duty’ and that include ‘Inter Zonal Postings’.
Mr. Sravan also alleged that nearly 50 transfers were cancelled and fresh orders were issued manually to execute illegal posting to others. Of the 75,317 teachers who had applied online for transfers, as many as 31,514 have been transferred. However, by not following the rules, the State government did great injustice to teachers, especially couples, he said.
He urged the Chief Minister to order a high-level enquiry into the alleged irregularities committed and take corrective measures.
