Chhattisgarh’s Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Rajwade has ordered an inquiry into alleged irregularities in Surajpur’s teacher rationalisation process, following complaints from the Shikshak Sanjha Manch. The forum cited corruption and mismanagement by the District Education Officer, Bharti Verma, including double postings and forced telephonic counselling. Teachers faced salary issues and were pressured to accept remote postings.
