Tirunelveli: Pattali Makkal Katchi initiator S. Ramadoss said that
Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi should order an upper-level query into
non-filling up of positions in the Directorate of Collegiate Education
and the confusedness persisting over the move of college teachers.

Dr. Ramadoss stated the Department of Higher Education had preserved six key positions in the Directorate of Collegiate Education unfilled for the last several months.

Various teaching positions in colleges were not made known when teachers opted for transfer that led to protestations, including road roko in Madurai.

“The functioning of the Department of Higher Education lacks total transparency,” he said.

Dr. Ramadoss gave thanks to the Chief Minister for taking steps to discontinue the establishment of retail shops by MNCs and domestic giants in Tamil Nadu, move to start government-run cable TV services and for canceling the recently held cooperative elections.
