The Office of the District Education Officer (DEO), South Tripura, has issued a show cause notice to the Assistant Headmaster and eight teachers of Satchand H.S. School, Sabroom, for alleged unauthorized absence, dereliction of duty, and unhygienic school conditions.

According to the order, during an inspection by the DEO on August 7, 2025, at 1:35 PM, Assistant Headmaster Janatapati Tripura was found absent without prior intimation or sanctioned leave. Reports also allege that he frequently remains absent without proper approval.

On the same day, eight other teachers were also reportedly absent without valid documentation. Several teachers who were present were allegedly found idling in the staff room and ICT room during class hours, resulting in many students being deprived of scheduled lessons during the interaction session. The inspection further revealed that the school premises, including classrooms, were in an untidy and unhygienic condition.

The DEO has directed the Assistant Headmaster and the other concerned teachers to respond within two working days, explaining why disciplinary action should not be taken against them and why their absence should not be treated as dies non.

The notice warns that failure to provide a satisfactory reply will be considered willful negligence, and strict action will be taken without further reference.
