The Delhi government has ordered suspension of two teachers, a midday meal in-charge and transfer of principal and vice-principal of a school in Mukherjee Nagar after several irregularities were found during a surprise inspection.

Sanjay Goel, director of Directorate of Education, conducted a surprise inspection at Government Boys Senior Secondary School in Mukherjee Nagar on Wednesday.

"Absent principal and vice-principal, dusty computer labs, watery midday meal curries, uncooked rice and dirty school campus were some of the irregularities found during the inspection. I have ordered suspension of two teachers and the mid-day meal in-charge. The principal and vice-principal of the school have been transferred," Goel said.

"It is not understood how during school hours both principal and vice-principal left the school in total chaos without informing the staff," he said. Goel was later told that the principal and vice-principal were at the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights for a hearing.
