Dhanbad teachers' salaries withheld

The drastic measure comes after most students at the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya failed or received compartments, particularly in mathematics and science.

Officials have described the results as unacceptable and are taking corrective steps, including the potential replacement of several staff members.

The incident has sparked a broader debate about the quality of education and teacher accountability in the region.

Authorities have promised to monitor the situation closely to ensure that academic standards are improved for the next session.
