The complainant, Karanjit Kaur, head teacher, Government Primary School Baddowal, Block Ludhiana 2, had filed a complaint against the Deputy DEO to the Education Minister for putting undue pressure on her to improve enrolment of students during a Zoom meeting held on May 10.

The teacher alleged that the official intentionally pointed her out repeatedly during the meeting and such kind of pressure caused her great mental agony and stress.

The teacher said despite trying to clear her position, the Deputy DEO did not let her utter a single word. In the complaint, the teacher had sought action against the official. In case my mental condition deteriorates further, the official should be held accountable, she wrote in her complaint.
