Srinagar: Terming as “misinformation” the allegation that Education department employees were forced to participate in the Yoga Day celebrations, the Director of Colleges Thursday said that all participants have volunteered to take part in the event and that no employee was compelled to join against their will.
The Director further asserted that employees were not required to change their clothes. They were provided with long tunics to wear over their existing attire, ensuring their comfort and convenience.
The Director also stated that the employees’ well-being was prioritized. Pregnant employees and those with medical conditions were not asked to participate in the Yoga Day celebrations.
He urged everyone to verify facts before spreading false narratives that can cause unnecessary concern and confusion.
