Srinagar, Oct 12 (KINS): The School Education Department of the Jammu and Kashmir Government on Tuesday refuted the news “DSEK Proposes Government to shift minority teachers to safer places” which is in circulation across many social media groups.
The news on the J&K administration planning to shift teachers from minority groups to safer areas started doing rounds in the wake of two school teachers-Satinder Kaur and Deepak Chand- were shot dead by the unidentified gunmen in Eidgah Sangam of Srinagar.
In a statement issued here by the education department, in possesion of news agency KINS, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir made it clear that they were ‘NOT’ planning to shift teachers from the minority community to other locations. “School Education Department has not issued any order regarding mass leave, deployment or mass transfer of academic or non-academic staff for minority employees,” the government said.(KINS)
