Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, November 19
The Chandigarh Administration has decided to transfer the teacher of Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 16, to the office of the District Education Officer with immediate effect, following charges of harassing a girl student last week.

The girl had levelled allegations of molestation against a physical education teacher. The incident came to light last week when allegations and counter-allegations became public. Sources said since the teacher was on contract, he could not be suspended. So, the department decided to transfer him. The preliminary inquiry gave certain hints that led to his transfer. Now the department has initiated disciplinary proceedings. An inquiry committee of the department earlier visited the house of the girl.
