[ Rajasekhar Mantha controversyal Comment ] : -
State politics is uproar over teacher corruption. Central investigative agencies like CBI have taken over the investigation. Investigating agencies are being questioned on an almost daily basis for the extremely slow pace of crucial investigations such as tracking down fake teachers and through whom they are employed as teachers.
This time the High Court raised questions about the delay in getting the dues of the retired teachers. Justice Rajashekhar Mantha ordered to settle the arrears quickly.
Justice Rajashekhar Mantha of the Calcutta High Court said, "Why is there so much delay in getting the dues of the retired teachers? The government should be more conscious about the teachers. Teachers do a great job, so the delay in getting the financial benefits due to them after their retirement is very sad. The state government should be special in this regard." Attention is needed."
