Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday, wrote to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, expressing grave concern over the alleged irregularities in teachers' recruitment in the State, and asking her to take corrective action.
The letter comes in the backdrop of an ongoing Enforcement Directorate investigation, into the alleged multi-crore school job scam in which it arrested now-sacked West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee, on July 23.
"A large number of representations received from various teachers and teacher organisations from West Bengal regarding irregularities in the teacher recruitment in West Bengal is a matter of grave concern," the letter read.
