TURA, Sep 16: The appointment of Ela Begum Sarkar as the new District Education Officer (DSEO) of Baghmara has yet again evoked stiff opposition with a conglomeration of organisations from South Garo Hills protesting against the move of the government.
Strongly opposing the appointment, combined organisations from the district comprising the GSU, ADE, FKJGP and others have been picketing the office of the DSEO since Wednesday.
“The fact is that she has been a rejected person everywhere and appointing her would amount to South Garo Hills district becoming a dumping ground for all the tainted officers which will take the district on the backfoot. We in the strongest terms oppose the appointment of her as the DSEO,” the organisations said.
Stating that so far, there has been no response from the government on the matter, the organisations warned that they would be compelled to extend the agitation and continue it indefinitely if the authorities turn a blind eye to their protest.
