Punjab Education Department Seeks Records Amid Arya College Teachers' Protest and Chargesheets
The Directorate of Higher Education, Punjab, has requested detailed records from Arya College management following a complaint alleging administrative irregularities, including issues with the officiating principal's appointment and delayed teacher promotions. This inquiry coincides with a 16-day faculty protest demanding a permanent principal and resolution of pending Career Advancement Scheme promotions. The college management issued chargesheets to six protesting teachers, citing rule violations for demonstrations on campus, while teachers and the Punjab and Chandigarh College Teachers' Union defended their peaceful protest and criticized the chargesheets as attempts to suppress their voices.
