Delhi LG orders interim stay on transfer of 5,000 govt teachers; AAP, BJP trade charges
NEW DELHI: Delhi Lt Governor V K Saxena on Sunday directed Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to keep orders on the transfer of 5,000 teachers, who have been posted in the same school for more than 10 years, in abeyance as an interim measure.
The decision came after a delegation of Delhi BJP leaders and representatives of teachers met Saxena at his office.
The BJP blamed the AAP government for the "arbitrary" decision to transfer the teachers, while AAP leader and Delhi's education minister Atishi welcomed the LG's direction, calling it a victory of Delhiites, and alleged a conspiracy by the BJP behind the mass transfer order.
