The principals of two schools here have been asked for an explanation on charges of violating the election code of conduct.
The District Election Code of Conduct Monitoring Committee has asked for clarification from Devraj Chaulagain, principal of Kalashilla Secondary School in Raskot, and Deep Bahadur Shahi, principal of Chulimalika Secondary School in Khadachak. Both principals are teacher leaders.
Chaulagain has been asked to submit a written reply within 3 days on the allegations that he participated in the Nepali Communist Party's unity message assembly and allowed Shahi to hold election programs, violating the code of conduct.
Assistant District Officer Janak Sharma, coordinator of the Code of Conduct Monitoring Officer's Office, said that the clarification was sought after complaints were received that the principals of the two schools acted contrary to the code of conduct.
There are allegations that Principal Chaulagain closed the school and attended the NCP's Raskot Municipal Committee meeting and message assembly along with the teachers and staff, and allowed Shahi to hold programs in the school, said Tanka Thapa, member secretary of the Code of Conduct Monitoring Officer's Office.
Stating that he is aware of the election code of conduct issued on Magh 4, Principal Chaulagain of Kalashilla Secondary School has sent a written letter claiming that he did not violate the code of conduct.
He claimed that he went to the program after 4 pm to suggest that the professional demands of teachers and employees be included in the election manifesto of the Nepali Communist Party, and said that he did not violate the election code of conduct.
Similarly, Principal Shahi of Chulikalika Secondary School claimed that the candidate met him at a hostel outside the school to convey his problems, including the lack of school buildings, while he was going to the village via a road outside the school.
