The Regional Director of Higher Education Department, Brahmapur has submitted the much-awaited report to the Election Commission on the allegation that the Principal of the Khemundi College in Ganjam district had forced the college’s Computer Teacher to cast vote in favour of a particular political party candidate.
The academic circle here is eagerly watching the developments and the possible action to be taken by the Election Commission in this regard.
The Computer Teacher had reportedly lodged a complaint to this effect with the Election Commission seeking stern action against the Principal. The Commission then instructed the Department of Higher Education to probe into the matter. Accordingly, Regional Director Dr Prabin Kumar Tripathy was entrusted the investigation responsibility.
In the process of investigation, while the Computer Teacher submitted an audio recording to substantiate his allegation, the Principal placed a written compliance
before Tripathy.
According to information available, Trhipathy has recently submitted his observations along with audio recording and the Principal’s written compliance to the Election Commission.
