A government school headmistress was transferred on Saturday, following a protest by students in Salem.
On Friday, October 6, 2023, students of the Salem Fort Government Girls Higher Secondary School staged a dharna demanding basic amenities, and the transfer of the school headmistress Tamilvani, who allegedly made two students kneel, for complaining about the poor quality of drinking water. After officials of the education, police and revenue departments spoke to the students, and the school headmistress offered an apology, the students withdrew their protest.
Meanwhile, on Friday evening, Chief Educational Officer (CEO) M. Kabeer went to the school and conducted an inquiry. Based on the inquiry, the CEO transferred the headmistress, Tamilvani, to the Elampillai Government Boys Higher Secondary School.
