Rabindra Dehury, Headmaster of the Meripur Primary School under Mahanga Cuttack district, was suspended on Monday for allegedly coming to the school after consuming liquor.
The Block Education Officer (BEO) put Dehury under suspension after a video of the headmaster entering a classroom in an inebriated state surfaced on social media and went viral.
A few days ago, locals had warned Dehury not to come to school drunk as it had an adverse impact on their wards. But the warning did not have any impact on him and he continued to come drunk to the school.
In a similar incident a few days ago, Assistant Teacher Sesadeba Behera of the Nedipadar UP School in Phiringia block of Kandhamal district was suspended for allegedly taking classes in inebriated condition.
