Teachers Challenge Chandigarh Deputation Policy; Audit Ordered on Deputation Salaries

The Central Administrative Tribunal has issued notices and scheduled a hearing. Separately, the Comptroller and Auditor General has ordered a special audit into salaries and benefits paid to deputed teachers, following allegations of extended deputations without valid approvals and financial irregularities.
