Now, teachers put on duty at cremation ground in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district to ensure Covid protocol

Their duty starts from 6 am and ends at 8 pm. District officials say that teachers have been deputed to keep a record of deaths and to ensure if Covid protocol is being followed during cremation.

Criticising the order, state representative of Shikshak Congress, Ashutosh Pandey, said that teachers are easy targets of government. “This duty should have been given to a panchayat official. Nevertheless, teachers are helping government to combat corona with all their might but they haven’t been included in corona warrior category, which is sad,” Pandey added.
