New Delhi: The Delhi government will provide Rs 1 crore to the family of a school teacher stabbed to death by two of his students, it was announced on Tuesday.
The government has also ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said.
The teacher, Mukesh Kumar, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital on Tuesday, a day after he was attacked.
"Our government respects teachers and believes that the contribution of a teacher is just as important as that of a soldier serving at the border," he added.
"We have got complaints from his family members regarding negligence by school administration and hospital authorities. We have ordered a magistrate inquiry to look into the whole incident especially complaints of negligence," Mr Sisodia said.
"Confidence of all the teachers has been shaken due to the criminal act of two students. Parents need to work to restore faith in the teachers so that they regain their confidence," Mr Sisodia said adding that if the teachers are scared, the whole education system will fall apart.
