Maharajganj (UP), Jan 24 (PTI) Two government school teachers in the district have been suspended, while two others have been issued notices for allegedly posting objectionable comments on religion and the government on social media, an official said on Friday.
District Magistrate (DM) Anunay Jha directed Basic Education Officer (BSA) Pradeep Kumar Sharma to take action against the teachers.
The BSA confirmed the suspensions and issued notices after comments made by the teachers drew the administration’s attention.
