Sudeep Sharma has been nominated from outside the panel and not recommended for ZICC Kishtwar and Piyari Lal was taken from the panel recommended for Inderwal but shown as a teacher instead of master,” informed sources, adding that the entire order suffers from misrepresentation and forgery committed by some officials.
Sharing the further details, the sources, said that as ordered by DSEJ vide office order No DSEJ/CUL/27566-88 dated 20-08-2021, ordering for recommending a panel of teachers for their selection as DICC and ZICC at District and Zonal level along with their routine teaching work.

He, however, handed over the phone to an official at the CEO office, who admitted that the teachers who have been nominated were never recommended by the CEO office.
