The dispute between the Principal and DEO of Upgraded Higher Middle School Karamchandra Rampur Balra of Kudhni block of Muzaffarpur district of Bihar is not stopping. Now the teachers are engaged in a one-on-one fight. On Sunday, teachers members of the Parivartikari Teachers Association protested with sticks and bouquets against the District Education Officer at the martyr memorial site in Company Bagh.
Lakhan Lal Nishad, President of the Transformative Teachers Association, said that currently sticks and bouquets have been distributed to teachers at the district level only. In the coming days, we will distribute it among the teachers of entire Bihar. When asked the reason for distribution of sticks and bouquets, he said that the teachers are with the principal in this matter. A demand for commission was made by the District Education Officer, due to which a dispute occurred and both the parties got hurt in that dispute.
He said that the FIR of the District Education Officer has been registered. Action was taken against him and the principal was also suspended. But the application given by the Principal has not been taken till date. Now teachers will not compromise on this. If such District Education Officers come, they will drive them away by beating them with sticks. He also said that if honest officers come, they will welcome them with a bouquet of flowers.
