Hyderabad Issues Notices to 183 Teachers Over FRS Attendance
Officials in Hyderabad checked whether government-school teachers had recorded attendance.
They use a facial-recognition system called FRS for this.
During surprise inspections, officials found 183 teachers absent without registering FRS on time.
The teachers also had not given advance information about being absent.
The district administration sent each teacher a show-cause notice.
This means they must explain what happened.
