AASU appeals against ‘transfer with post’
Aboi, September 18 (MExN): The Aboi Area Students’ Union (AASU) has appealed to the Principal Director, Department of School Education, not to make any transfers with post.

It claimed that such transfers are common in the region and expressed resentment against the practice.
The union expressed its resolve “to fight tooth and nail” against such transfers and held the concerned individual/authority ‘solely responsible’ if such incumbents are released without posting of relievers. The ASSU called on the authorities to genuinely look into the matter in the interest of quality education for the student community.
