Commissioner for Public Instruction R Vishal has issued orders suspending the headmistress of a government high school for allegedly undressing and thrashing a girl student for carrying a mobile phone to the school in Srirangapatna on Friday.
The parents had lodged a complaint with the block education officer against the headmistress Snehalatha, alleging that she undressed the girl and thrashed her, and sought action. A few even staged a protest in front of the school, warning of closing the school.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction Javaregowda said the parents and the villagers have been informed about the suspension of the headmistress. They have been told to send their wards to school without any anxiety. The students would also be given proper guidelines, he said.
