UP government orders STF probe into ‘unverified’ teachers scam

The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to order a Special Task Force (STF) probe to keep a check on ‘unverified’ teachers across the state, in case they fail to verify their service books by January 4. At least 16,838 teachers in the state have not verified their service books by the December 17 deadline on the ‘Manav Sampada’ website which is an online database of teachers, created for the digitisation of records. The deadline has now been extended to January 4.
