Govt keeps transfer orders of 5K school teachers in abeyance after LG's directive

Acting on the orders of Lt Governor V K Saxena, the Delhi government on Monday directed that the transfer of 5,000 school teachers, who have been posted in the same school for more than 10 years, be kept in abeyance.

Saxena on Sunday asked Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to keep the transfer orders in abeyance as an interim measure after a delegation of Delhi BJP leaders and representatives of teachers met the LG in his office.

Addressing a press conference here, Delhi Education minister Atishi, however, alleged a conspiracy by the BJP behind the transfer orders.

“Our government in Delhi has transformed government schools in the last 10 years. The results of students studying here have set records. BJP could not digest this change and hence a conspiracy was hatched to transfer teachers to ruin this education revolution,” she charged.

She also congratulated the people of Delhi on the orders being withdrawn.
