Advisor to the Chief Minister KP for Tourism and Culture Zafar Mahmood has announced that female teachers who had been appointed in faraway districts for a long time will be transferred back to their respective districts.
He expressed these views while talking to a delegation of female teachers affected by long-term appointments at the Circuit House Mansehra. Zafar Mahmood said that steps will be taken to eliminate discrimination and to address their relevant grievances.
He also expressed concern for the harassment of female teachers in the field and said that male officials in the education department should be strictly warned to ensure the respect of women is maintained in the office setups.
He said that any complaint regarding women's harassment would be dealt with an iron hand and the responsible officials would go through severe consequences.
Earlier, during a meeting with a delegation from Balakot, Zafar Mahmood said that further steps were being taken to promote tourism in Kaghan Naran Valley.
