Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday directed officials to set up a dedicated team to verify the document using which teachers were appointed in government schools across the state.

Chairing a meeting of senior officials at his residence in Lucknow, Adityanath asked them to constitute a dedicated team to verify the documents of teachers appointed in schools under the departments of Secondary Education, Higher Education, Basic Education, Social Welfare and Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalayas, a statement issued by the state government said.

The development comes in the wake of withdrawal of salaries from several government schools in the state based on forged documents in the name of one Anamika Shukla.

"Stringent action should be initiated against the defaulters," the statement quoted the chief minister as having said.

The Allahabad High Court on Friday allowed Uttar Pradesh to resume the process of recruiting assistant basic teachers, provided it sets aside over half of the 69,000 posts for `Shiksha Mitras' who now hold temporary jobs.

Justices P K Jaiswal and D K Singh stayed the order of a single-judge bench that had on June 3 halted the selection process for 69,000 government school teachers.

The court said the state government is free to continue with the selection process while keeping in mind the June 9 order of the Supreme Court.

The SC had directed that about 37,000 of these 69,000 posts must be kept for 'Shiksha Mitras', the para teachers now employed on an ad hoc basis.
