Bengal Education Dept. Verifies 'Untainted' Teacher Applications
In West Bengal, some teachers lost their jobs after a court decision.
The government is now checking if these teachers were not involved in any wrongdoing.
If they weren't, they can apply to get their old jobs back.
The applications are being sent to local school officials to check, and they have until June 23 to give their feedback.
This is to help the teachers who lost their jobs potentially return to work.
West Bengal's School Education Department is verifying applications from 'non-tainted' teachers.
This follows a Supreme Court order on April 3 that invalidated appointments.
The department has set a three-day deadline for the verification process.
District Inspectors of Schools (DIs) must provide feedback by June 23.
Un-tainted teachers began sending applications from April 14-15.
