Principal quits after
scuffle on school premises Jhajjar, March 31 According to sources, the Deputy
Commissioner, Mr Mohinder Kumar, the chairperson of the District
Education Society, held an emergency meeting of the school managing body
and decided to take strict action against the staff members involved in
the scuffle. The row began on Monday. The verbal duel snowballed when
the male teacher, identified as Dharmender, and a managing body member,
Sarvmeet, came to blows the next day. Sources said the Principal of
the school, Ms Geeta Rani, sided with the male teacher, which reportedly
complicated the matter. However, taking senior note of the violent row,
the DC called a meeting of the managing body and suspended Dharmander
and ordered an inquiry against him to be conducted by the SDM, Jhajjar.
He also accepted the resignation of the Principal, which was reportedly
offered by her of her own accord. The administration also sealed the
office of the school so that no documents could be tampered with during
the inquiry. The inauguration of the newly built nursery wing of the
school opposite the tehsil office has also been put off for the time
being. |
