HYDERABAD: Couples who are government teachers, held a protest along with their children at the Directorate of School Education at Saifabad on Teachers’ Day on Monday, demanding that the State government complete the mutual transfer of spouses which is yet to be completed in 13 districts.
The teachers, whose spouses were allocated to far-off places during the allocation of cadre as per GO 317, said that officials were not following the Chief Minister’s orders. They stressed that teachers, along with their spouses were to be accommodated in the same district.
Mutual transfers have been done for spouses only in 19 districts till now and the issue has been neglected for eight months, they insisted. The teachers were taken into custody and later released.
The TSUTF’s State committee has demanded that the State government immediately issue orders to allocate spouses in the same districts as per GO 317. According to them, the government was violating the GO, causing immense mental agony.
