Delhi LG Vinai Kumar Saxena has issued instructions to put an interim stay on the large-scale transfers of teachers in the national capital. He has also suggested to the Chief Secretary and Directorate of Education that these transfers should be done fairly by adopting a sympathetic attitude.
In this regard, Raj Niwas has shared information on its official X handle. On Sunday, teachers and teachers' union representatives met LG at Raj Niwas and informed him about their problems. They had demanded LG to adopt a humane approach on the issue of transfer, jagran.com reported.
Analysing the seriousness and sensitivity of the matter, the LG took cognizance of it and directed the Chief Secretary and the Directorate of Education to put a stop on these transfer orders on an interim basis.
The tweet further stated that the LG is constantly making efforts for better service conditions for government employees so that they can perform as expected. That is why a sympathetic, holistic and fair approach should be adopted by the Chief Secretary and Directorate of Education on transfers. Also, these orders should be kept in abeyance till then.

Notably, a political slugfest had erupted over the last few days regarding the transfer of more than five thousand teachers in Delhi.
On June 11, the education department issued a circular informing about the teacher transfer. On July 1, the education minister Atishi issued written directions to the education department to recall the decision and withhold teacher transfers.
Atishi issued show cause notices to the senior education department officers on July 3 on the grounds of “wilful disobeyance” of the order and subsequently, asked the chief secretary to halt the mass transfers.
