Bengaluru, Jun 9: Excise Commissioner Munish Moudgil on Friday attracted the ire of Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy for not following the government orders.

It is learnt that Kumaraswamy is upset with the IAS officer for not reversing transfers of government employees, who were on election duty.

According to sources, several women officials met Kumaraswamy and complained that though the Assembly elections were over, Moudgil had not reversed their transfers. As a result they had not been able to go back to their original postings.

The Election Commission had transferred several officers to different departments during the recently concluded Assembly elections. It had clarified that the transfers would be only up to the elections.

A few days ago, the State government had given a general order stating that the transfers should be reversed.

While a majority of the departments implemented the government order, Moudgil didn’t. Sources said that Moudgil had maintained that the transfers would be reversed only after the ongoing MLC elections.

Notwithstanding his decision, the women met Kumaraswamy and appealed to him to intervene. After hearing their appeal, Kumaraswamy is said to have threatened to suspend Moudgil. Though no action has been taken against the officer as yet, official sources confirmed that he would face disciplinary action if he didn’t reverse the transfers immediately.

Bengaluru, June 10: The Department of Primary and Secondary Education of Government of Karnataka today ordered a ban on online classes for children from KG to class 5.

The decision was taken following a report based on the report submitted by director NIMHANS, recommending online classes only above the age of 6 years and also following the complaints from several parents about online classes conducted by private schools even for kindergarten kids.

Briefing the media soon after the meeting with department officials, S Suresh Kumar, primary and secondary education minister said, "We have taken two major decisions today. The online classes for LKG, UKG and primary classes should be stopped immediately."

Even collecting fees in the name of online classes should be stopped, said the minister. "We have already issued a circular about it insisting that schools not collect fees in the name of online classes and also requesting schools not to increase fees for the 2020-21 academic year considering financial constraints of several people due to the COVID-19 pandemic," said the minister.

The department, however, also discussed how to engage children during this period as there was no clarity over the reopening of schools for the 2020-21 academic year. "We have constituted a committee to prepare guidelines on how to engage students and increase their knowledge. The committee is headed by Prof. MK Sridhar," he said.

Before taking this decision, the department had three rounds of discussions with various experts, including Prof. MK Sridhar, Prof. VP Niranjanaradhya, Dr John Vijay Sagar and other departments, including the home and health departments.
