A woman teacher of a school in the Thakurmunda area of Mayurbhanj district reportedly engaged three girl students at her field and paid them Rs 100 per day.
According to reports, Sangita Sarita Munda of the Ghulughulia UGUP School in the district, took the three girls of Class-VII, all belonging to tribal community, to her village Tanheipala under Anandapur block in Keonjhar district and made them work at her field for three days. She also paid each of them Rs 100 per day for their work.
After the teacher returned to the school along with the students, tension erupted as parents and locals locked the main gate of the school protesting the teacher’s act. Normalcy returned after Munda
apologised for what she did.
An inquiry has been initiated in the matter after the higher authorities were informed about the teacher’s act.
