Nago Ganar, a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) from Nagpur’s teachers’ constituency, on Saturday, demanded an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into controversial teacher recruitments done across the state in recent years. Marred with irregularities, the school teachers’ appointment and approval process across Maharashtra has been a hot topic of discussion in the ongoing monsoon session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.

Stressing for ED’s probe, Ganar alleged that it is a massive scandal involving “thousands of millions of rupees that cannot be probed at the local or district level”. “No concrete actions were taken even today, as irregularities are being found in teachers’ appointment and approval. This is a massive scam which is now beyond local police and district or state education officials, hence I have demanded an ED probe in the matter,” he said.
