Doda: A teacher was placed under suspension in Chenab Valley’s Doda after he shot a video showing the dilapidated condition of his remote Government Middle School Draman, in Bhatyas zone, which went viral on social media earlier this week.
The suspended employee has been identified as a Grade-II teacher Fiaz Ahmed.
In the viral video, the teacher talked about the shabby accommodation, lurking threat to the lives of the minor students and inadequate staff to manage eight classes.
Chief Education Officer (Doda) Prakash Lal Thappa confirmed the teacher’s suspension and said the department has sought a detailed project report (DPR) from the concerned department for repair of the school.
“The teacher was placed under suspension on Friday, while a DPR was sought from the Public Works Department for immediate repair of the school building,” Thappa said.
In his suspension order issued on Friday, he said the department has taken a serious note of the viral video as it “disseminated confidential information as well as criticized the government policies like digital India,” school education policies and working of higher authorities in violation of service guidelines.
