Delhi Guest Teachers Face Termination Over Refusal to Perform Census Duties

In Delhi, 142 guest teachers face possible termination after refusing assigned census duties, which authorities describe as gross negligence and indiscipline. The Old Delhi district magistrate requested their immediate discontinuation, citing potential disruption to the census process. The Government Teachers Association argues the refusal stems from low pay, lack of resources, and practical difficulties, urging the Education Minister to reconsider terminations. The Education Minister acknowledged the issue and promised sympathetic consideration of special cases.
