Chhattisgarh's education department has issued a controversial order requiring government school teachers to monitor and prevent snakes, scorpions, and other dangerous animals from entering school premises. The directive, justified by a Supreme Court ruling, has sparked outrage among educators who argue it unreasonably expands their responsibilities beyond teaching duties and places them at personal risk, especially in rural and remote schools where wildlife encounters are common.
