Tarn Taran, January 29

Sushil Kumar took charge as the District Education Officer (Secondary) while Daljit Kaur took over as District Education Officer (Elementary) in Tarn Taran on Monday. The post of the DEO (Secondary) was lying vacant for months. Kawaljit Singh, District Education Officer (Elementary), has been transferred to Gurdaspur as per the list of transfers released on Monday. Previously, District Education Officer (Elementary) Kawaljit Singh was holding the additional charge of DEO (Secondary).

It is pertinent to mention here that the posts of both DEO (Elementary) and DEO (Secondary) was lying vacant which had affected routine work.

In the recent reshuffle, though the posts of District Education Officer in both elementary and secondary departments have been filled, the posts of Deputy District Education Officer are yet to be filled. Official sources said that the posts were lying vacant as departmental promotions were being delayed again and again.
