J&K school education department to launch special grievance redressal portals

On Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir administration issued directives to the school education department to introduce dedicated grievance redressal portals in the union territory. According to an official spokesperson, for early redressal of grievances of government teachers, Principal Secretary School Education Department Asgar Hassan Samoon directed unveiling of dedicated grievance redressal portals at the directorate-level. In a meeting through video conferencing, Mr Samoon passed these directions to the directors of school education of both the divisions of Jammu and Kashmir. He asserted that he wanted all grievances of teachers redressed in a time-bound manner. Now they can register their complaints anytime and they will get a response to their complaints in a time-bound manner.
