DERA ISMAIL KHAN: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Department has annulled the appointments of 35 female primary school teachers in Dera Ismail Khan over alleged irregularities involving fake appointment letters.

The department has also directed officials to recover the salaries paid to the teachers and deposit the recovered amount into the government treasury.

According to a notification issued by District Education Officer Syeda Anjum, the authorities were unable to verify the appointment orders, service records and posting details of the women.

The recovered money is to be deposited into the government treasury in accordance with the department’s instructions.
