New Delhi, June 04: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes issued notices to Telangana’s Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police after an IAS officer allegedly directed students at welfare schools to clean toilets.
The commission sought an action-taken report within 15 days.
This came days after an alleged audio clip of S Alagu Varshini, Secretary of the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society, directing School Principals to incorporate cleaning duties into the students’ routine at welfare hostels and classrooms was widely shared online.
The Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society, which reports to the state welfare ministry, provides education to students from Scheduled Caste communities.
After the IAS officer’s remarks came to light, RS Praveen Kumar, Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader and former Secretary of the society, demanded Varshini’s resignation.
