UP Teachers Face Salary Withholding for Solar Panel Installation

In Mau, Uttar Pradesh, the education department has told teachers to install solar panels at their homes.

The government has a plan called the Prime Minister’s Suryaghar/Solar Scheme to help people use solar energy.

The education officer, Santosh Kumar Upadhyay, said that teachers must show proof that they have installed solar panels.

If they don’t, their salaries might be stopped.

However, the officer later said that installing the panels is not mandatory and teachers can choose to do it voluntarily.

The department wants to make sure everyone follows the rules, but there is some confusion about whether salaries will really be stopped.
