MANSEHRA: A group of women schoolteachers has moved an application to the deputy commissioner, demanding an inquiry against the husband of the district education officer for `harassing` them at her office.

`Husband of education officer Rehana Yasmeen is enjoying all the official powers conferred to her by the education department, and whenever female teachers go to Ms Yasmeen`s office in connection with their day-to-day issues, her husband misbehaves and passes immoral remarks against them,` Maryam Bibi, a grade-15 teacher posted to government girls middle school, Bai Bajna in Oghi, told reporters here on Wednesday.

She said she had moved a written complaint with the DC seeking an inquiry against the DEO`s husband. She alleged the man was also issuing posting and transfer orders of teachers without any lawful authority, and his wife only stamped and signed documents as a formality.

She said DEO Yasmeen`s husband usually sat on her official chair. Correspondent
