The transfer order was issued by Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.
CHANDIGARH: The government of Punjab has transferred the teachers of a government school in state's Fazilka district, who were accused of allegedly stripping girl students to check for napkins after one was found discarded in the school's toilet.
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who had earlier ordered an inquiry into the incident, issued the transfer orders.
The Chief Minister's office had ordered the State Education Department Secretary, Krishan Kumar, to initiate an inquiry into the incident.
The Chief Minister directed Kumar to complete the investigation by Monday and take necessary action.
The teachers were reportedly trying to find out which of the girls were wearing a sanitary pad.
The Chief Minister took action against the accused teachers after he was informed that instead of educating the girls about proper disposal of the pads, the teachers decided to strip them.
Further disciplinary action, as per conduct rules, will be taken once the formal report is received, an official spokesperson of the Punjab government said while commenting on the incident.
The Chief Minister had asked Kumar to personally update him with the final inquiry report, he added.
A video clip showing some girls crying and complaining to their parents that their teachers stripped them on the premises of their school in Kundal village three days back had also gone viral which prompted the authorities to swung into action.
