Pongte also asked teachers not to indulge in drugs and refrain from other intoxicating substances, saying strong action would be initiated if anyone was found indulging in such vices.
On the issue of shortage of teachers in the district, he requested the teachers to “work beyond their superannuation,” saying that “honorarium could be arranged for them for their services.”
