The Odisha School and Mass Education Department has ordered a probe into allegations of illegal and unauthorised transfer of 120 teachers under the administrative control of the District Education Officer (DEO), Angul.
Additional Secretary to the Government Girish Chandra Singh, IAS, directed the Director of Secondary Education to conduct a thorough enquiry into the allegations raised by petitioner Harihar Mishra and others. He instructed officials to treat the matter as most urgent and submit a detailed report within seven days of receiving the communication.
Singh forwarded the petition to the Director, stating that the allegations were self-explanatory and required immediate attention. He emphasised the need for a transparent and accountable process to maintain discipline and fairness in teacher postings.
The department also sent a copy of the letter to the DEO, Angul, for information and necessary cooperation during the investigation. Officials are expected to ensure that the enquiry remains impartial and comprehensive.
