Teacher faces action for taking part in farmers’ stir

The All-Haryana Private School Sangh has decried the state government’s move to suspend a schoolteacher allegedly for attending the ongoing farmers’stir at Tikri.“The state has suspended Ajay Balhara, who has been training teachers as well as government officials for the success of the state-level ‘paudhagiri’ plantation drive, which is highly deplorable,” said sangh president Ravinder Nandal in a statement issued here on Monday.“Balhara comes from a farming family and had gone there to know the concerns of the protesters, which is not a violation of any rule of law or constitutional provision,” said Nandal. The teachers’ association has demanded immediate reinstatement of Balhara, who had been serving as a postgraduate teacher of biology and was currently posted as the programme officer at the Director (Secondary Education), Haryana, at Panchkula. — TNS
