TURA: The Sub-Divisional School Education Officer (SDSEO) of Dadenggre in West Garo Hills has clarified on the recent news report alleging collection of money from different schools by the office, which was questioned by local MLA, Azad Zaman through a statement.
In a clarification issued on Tuesday, the official asserted that ‘no money was collected by any official under SDSEO from the deficit/adhoc/government/improved institutions at any point of time on the basis of any such notification as referred to in the said news report’.
“Head Teachers of different schools have been pleading for construction of public toilet in the office premises of the SDSEO at Dadenggre since long but the office could not consider their pleas due to unavailability of funds.
Following the launching of ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’, the head teachers came up with a written demand for construction of the said toilet even volunteering to contribute themselves and a request was made to issue a notification so that other head teachers could do the same, if they so desired,” the SDSEO informed.
