The transfer row relating the Cotton Hill School, Thiruvananthapuram is quite unwarranted. Seeking to settle the controversy emerged by
the transfer of the Head Mistress Urmila Devi of Cotton Hill school for criticising Education Minister, Government
has revoked the orders and posted her in Model High School in the city itself. Is it then just to punish
the head of Model School by transferring him or her for a fault committed by
someone else? Is there anyone, I mean a political party or communal outfit to
hear the grievance to Model School HM?
Transfer of HM Urmila Devi to a school near Attingal town, about 35 km
from the city is not a big mistake. There are many employees in the State
travelling every day more than 200km by train or bus to attend their duty. The
controversy relating the transfer was politically motivated. The situation that
there is none to speak for HM of Ayilam School, Attingal and Model School,
Thiruvananthapuram is curious. Barring seniority all HMs are equal under
government service. Nevertheless, it now appears that Urmila Devi is a super
HM, having powers to downsize even the
Education minister of the State..
.Undoubtedly the CM and the Education Minister have made all the
effort to settle the row. Had been this episode in LDF regime, Urmila Devi has
to appeal the CM from Kasargod for the furor she created.
