Taking cognizance of the cases of teachers, who have been suffering from serious illnesses and differently abled and who have been working for long in extremely remote areas, Uttarakhand Governor Dr KK Paul has asked the secretary education to ensure action in these case with complete transparency.
The problems of these persons have been long pending and the Governor said that not resolving their problems was insensitive behaviour. The requests for transfers have not been looked into.
He categorically directed to secretary (education) to ensure action in these cases with complete transparency. While hearing problems/ grievances of people, the Governor came across many cases where the department has not deliberated upon applications for transfers given by teachers who are seriously ill or disabled.
The case of contractual employees of Government Medical College, Srinagar was also brought before the Governor today while he heard peoples’ problems at the secretariat.
The president of the joint workers’ association of the medical college requested that all those who had completed five years on contractual service should be regularised. The Governor directed the principal secretary (health) to look into the matter and take necessary action.
