Government Teachers Accused of Engaging in Real Estate Business
Bonkur Suresh Maharaj has filed a complaint with the District Education Officer (DEO), addressing it to Superintendent Ramakrishna. In his complaint, he alleged that some government teachers are involved in real estate businesses, which is affecting their professional duties. He claimed that this negligence is harming student education.
Key Allegations in the Complaint
Maharaj pointed out that government teachers are violating service rules by engaging in private businesses. According to the Central Civil Services (CCS) Conduct Rules, 1964 – Rule 15, government employees are not allowed to run businesses. Additionally, under Section 168 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), any financial transactions related to business by government employees are considered illegal.
He further alleged that teachers are spending more time on their personal businesses instead of focusing on their students’ education. Many teachers, he claimed, are hiding their illegal earnings under the names of their associates to evade income tax.
Call for Action Against Negligence
Speaking on the issue, Bonkur Suresh Maharaj said, “Government teachers receive hefty salaries, yet they are neglecting their main duty of educating students. Instead, they are involved in private business ventures. This is unacceptable, and strict action must be taken against such teachers to protect the future of students.”
Public Demand for Strict Enforcement
The complaint has sparked public outrage, with many demanding stricter enforcement of rules to prevent corruption in the education sector. Citizens are urging authorities to ensure that teachers remain committed to their roles and do not misuse their government positions for personal financial gain.
