Jagatsinghpur, Jul 11: A News7 report highlighting the severe teacher shortage at Alabhar High School in Jagatsinghpur district has prompted swift action from the district administration, with two new teachers joining the school on Saturday.

The school, which has around 150 students, had been functioning with only one teacher, who is also scheduled to retire on the 30th of this month. His retirement would have left the school completely without teaching staff, raising serious concerns among students, parents, and local residents.
