The Arunachal Pradesh government has terminated the services of 256 teachers, clerks and multi-tasking staffers for producing "forged and fabricated" appointment orders to concerned authorities without maintaining formalities of the education department, officials said on Friday.
State Education Commissioner Amjad Tak has issued separate orders terminating these employees from services in various districts after an inquiry committee, constituted to analyse the alleged irregularities, found that such appointment letters have “never been issued from the directorate of elementary education”, they said.
The orders revealed that "a significant number of primary teachers (PRTs), trained graduate teachers (TGTs), upper and lower division clerks (UDCs and LDCs) and multi-tasking staff (MTS) had secured their positions by presenting appointment orders that were later discovered to be fraudulent".
