Imphal, October 17 2009:
Highlighting various inconsistencies in the appointment and posting of teachers in Thadou dominated areas of Chandel district, the Thadou Students' Association (TSA), Chandel District Committee has demanded immediate rectification of all the inconsistences or indefinite postponement of the recruitment drive of primary teachers under Chandel Autonomous District Council.
Most of the non-Thadou teachers posted in Thadou dominated areas were always absent from their place of postings.
There was also a case where teachers were also posted in uninhibited village with schools, said a TSA press release.
Observing that roll numbers of the current DPC starts from 201 even as the panel list is 180, the TSA alleged that there is something messy in the recruitment process.
Urging upon the authority concerned to look into the matter, the TSA demanded appointment of only Thadou speaking teachers in Thadou dominated areas.
Further, the student body demanded suspension of CEO of Chandel Autonomous District Council S Wurngam Anal.
It cited the investigation conducted against him by the State Vigilance Dept and the subsequent charge-sheet framed against him in the past.
The student body said that it would oppose any move to conduct the recruitment process without clarity.
