The issue of retaining an Una teacher, accused of molesting schoolgirls, once again rocked the House today.
Leader of the Opposition Mukesh Agnihotri informed the House that despite an assurance from the Education Minister yesterday that the accused would be posted out of Una while under suspension, he had been posted in the office of Deputy Director, Education, Una.
Agnihotri asked under whose pressure the suspended teacher had been shifted from Jol, a remote area in Chintpurni, to the Deputy Directorrsquo;s office.
Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur assured the House that the orders would be amended and during his suspension period, the teacher would be shifted out of Una.
Yesterday, Agnihotri had drawn the attention of the House to the incident. As many as 12 girls had complained against the accused, who was booked under the POCSO Act.
The teacher was placed under suspension and his headquarters was fixed at Jol.
When the members expressed concern over the safety of girls, the Education Minister had assured them that the government would frame a policy dismissing such accused from service. He had also assured that during suspension, their headquarters would be shifted out of the district.
