Bihar: A primary school teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bihar's Jehanabad has been suspended after a video showed her using derogatory remarks about being posted in the state.
The teacher, identified as Dipali Sah, expressed dissatisfaction with her assignment to Jehanabad, using offensive language to describe Bihar and its residents. The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) took immediate action, suspending her with immediate effect.
In the video, the teacher complained about getting her first posting in Bihar, while her friends were being posted in Darjeeling, Silchar, Bengaluru and other states. "I could have got posting in any region. This (Bihar) is the worst region in India. I will remember this posting my whole life. They could have posted me anywhere like Goa, West Bengal and Ladakh. The ground reality is Bihar is Fu**** up. People here have zero civic sense," she said in the video. Shah added, "India is called a developing nation just because of Bihar."
During her suspension, her headquarters will be Kendriya Vidyalaya in Mashrakh, Saran district, and she is prohibited from leaving without prior permission from the principal.
