Overview
- The Directorate of Education’s December 5 circular instructs district officers to compile nodal-officer details for schools, stadiums and sports complexes and submit consolidated lists.
- Each entry must include the officer’s name, designation, phone number and email, with the compiled data forwarded to the office of the Delhi Chief Secretary.
- Nodal-officer contact information is to be displayed prominently outside educational premises to serve as the public point of contact for stray dog-related issues.
- The government denies assigning teachers to count stray dogs, calling census reports inaccurate, while framing the exercise as top-priority public-safety compliance with Supreme Court directions from November 7 and a November 20 review.
- Teachers’ bodies object to non-teaching duties during pre-board exams, as local orders such as North West A’s list of 118 teacher-nodal officers indicate uneven implementation.
