Odisha: Teacher caught on camera forcing kids to work
Angul (Odisha): Barely a month after a lady teacher was caught on camera instructing students to wash her scooty in Angul district, another shocking incident was reported here where a woman teacher allegedly forced students to clean sewage and engage them in other activities in her house.
The teacher was identified as Sumanti Behera of Karnapur Upper Primary School near here.
Reports said the teacher called three students, including a girl residing in a slum near the school, at around 10 am on Sunday to her house and engaged them in cleaning sewage and gardening work.
She monitored their work standing near them. The children returned their houses after completing their work.
After the video of the students cleaning the sewage went viral in social media platforms and the local people came to know about the incident, they demanded strong action against the teacher.
While hundreds of school teachers are sitting on dharna at Lower PMG Square to press the government to meet their demands, such report ruins image of teachers putting them in a dock.
In July, a video featuring a school teacher forcing students to clean her scooty instead of taking class went viral on social media and television news channels. The video showed that Sanjukta Majhi of Amantpur Project Upper Primary School under Baanarpaal Block in Angul district with a cane was asking her students to clean her scooty.
