Srinagar: The School Education Department of Jammu and Kashmir has attached the Chief Education Officers (CEOs) of Baramulla and Anantnag to the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) amid scrutiny of certain orders issued recently by these officials.
While the exact reasons for the attachments have not been disclosed, news agency JKNS reported sources as saying the move may be related to recent administrative decisions.
The CEOs will now report directly to the DSEK and may be assigned new duties. In a related move, the CEO of Bandipora withdrew an order regarding “Work from Home” for Jammu-based, PM Package, and migrant employees after it caused confusion within the teaching community.

Mr. Ashok K. Raina, Principal DIET Sopore, will handle the charge of CEO, Baramulla in addition to his own duties until further orders.”
