DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 24 (MExN): The Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) Nagaland has urged the Nagaland State Department of School Education (DoSE) to go ahead with the promotion of Graduate Teachers (GT), 1983-89 batch, as Asst. Head Masters (AHMs) and Junior Education Officers (JEOs) by December 2016 “as promised by the Commissioner and Secretary.”
A press note from the ACAUT stated that the department “has taken the right decision since there is no question of junior batch (1992) superseding the 1983-89 batches and this decision will hopefully result in all the schools functioning in full strength with the required head masters.”
Meanwhile, it condemned the “discriminatory tactics of the Finance department wherein lower cadres such as constables, etc., are denied TA entitlement after retirement despite the Office Memorandum issued on 25th November 2013.”
“These lower cadre police personnel are the backbone of any police force and it’s shocking to learn that hundreds if not thousands of these jawans have been denied their TAs whereas the high ranked officers do not face such problem after retirement,” it added.
The ACAUT cautioned that if this problem persists, “insubordination and gross indiscipline in the ranks cannot be ruled out in the near future having dire consequences.”
