Mumbai: Several staff members of the SIWS Junior College, Wadala, staged a demonstration in front of the institution's gate on Wednesday demanding action against the vice-principal Sheela Krishnan.

Memorandum Submitted Against Vice-Principal

A memorandum with signatures of 30 staffers has been submitted to the principal. Among other things, the vice-principal has been accused of body-shaming a woman and passing comments against a male staff member, which resulted in ten teachers submitting a complaint against her.

Instead of dealing with the issue, the vice-principal has allegedly been targeting the ten teachers concerned. The college management did not respond when contacted by FPJ.

Previous Admission Issues Highlighted

The signatories also pointed to an incident last year when seats were surrendered during FYJC admissions. The vice-principal reportedly blamed the teachers for the same and threatened action against them.
