Bhopal: Officials ask teachers to click photos of those defecating in open

Bhopal: A bizarre order by an “overenthusiastic” block education officer in a Madhya Pradesh district tasking teachers in a village to capture photos of locals while they were defecating in the open to shame them, has landed the state administration in acute embarrassment.

The order triggered howls of protests from the teaching community in the state forcing the local administration to withdraw it. The order came in the wake of complaints received by the local administration.
