In the event a single subject teacher makes application for transfer, the SMC will not reject the application and will inform the DI(SE) about such application. The DI(SE) will immediately discuss the matter with the CSI. In fit cases, the DI(SE) will take urgent step in time bound manner to search for a teacher on the same subject from nearby schools and make local arrangement so that the teacher of the other school attends the school wherefrom the teacher concerned has applied for transfer on limited days of the week on a temporary basis till such time a permanent teacher on that subject joins. The DI will inform such arrangement to the CSE who shall inform the matter to the Chairman, WBCSSC, President, WBBSL and School Education Department. CSE will ensure such arrangements in 7 days time immediately.
