Baseless allegations
(i)
Dear Editor,
Through your esteemed daily newspaper, I would like to focus a few lines regarding statement given by one Tadar Mohan, President Arunachal Teacher Association Kurung Kumey District Unit about Parsi Parlo Secondary school on 26th August 2014 in the Readers Forum.
We as lay men know that ATAKK has been established to work for the welfare of the teachers in the district. Now after reading your letters, we gather that it was form to divide the teachers.
You have given a statement that senior most serving J/T is being deprived which is
totally baseless. It was also reflected in your statement that since re-
At the same time govt. Secondary school Parsi Parlo is running very smoothly since
it’s re-
Further, transfer and posting is mandatory for every government job holders. It is not because of political pressurd and at the instigation of political workers.
Meanwhile, it is was very unfortunate to read that govt. Secondary School Parsi Parlo without officially handing/taking over charge a newly appointed teacher is sitting in the chair as Headmaster. This is totally untrue. The previous headmaster has already handed over the charge except previous years stipend audit.
The statement given by the president is totally fabricated and baseless.

Dear Editor,
Through your daily, we would like to draw the attention of some section of people
working under the banner of Arunachal Teachers Association (ATA) Kurung-
The President ATA,K/Kumey Unit vehemently condemned against recent transfer and posting of Teachers and termed it as root causes of ugly trend in some schools in the district.
The President ATA K/K Unit needs to know all the facts that have happened to some
schools if he is desirous of tackling all the unavoidable situations prevailing at
Parsi-
The schools were vandalised by the goons in recent past. There is corruption as SSA fund meant for Girls & boys toilet were siphoned off through forged bill. There are no sufficient regular teachers in all the Schools. Many teachers have been absenting themselves for a long time. Transfer and posting of govt, servant is a part of govt policy.
No authority or power have been delegated to Panchyati Raj institutions for transfer & posting of teaching staffs by the Govt, but they have been invited to take part in the internal management of respective Schools through School Management Committee (SMC).
We request him to stop going to the local media for cheap publicity.
We also earnestly request DDSE Kurung-
The respective BRC and CRC are also requested to ensure that attendance statements of teachers are sent from their respective school to DDSE Office for preparation of Monthly Salary.
We also earnestly request the Central Executive Committee ATA to instruct their Units to refrain from levelling any sort of allegation.
