Because of his complaint, the Corporation had to fill the back log of

basis of complaints of two female teachers, a memo dated 29.06.2016 was issued

the facts of the matter, the competent authority ordered his transfer

therefore, transferred and relieved to MCPS Wazirpur Industrial Area, C-II vide

for the smooth functioning of the Department. Under the North DMC, the charge
of LAC has been assigned to senior most eligible headmasters as all the School
Inspectors-LAC working with North DMC are senior Headmasters than the complainant. The EDMC or SDMC have their own arrangement.
