The state education authorities responded promptly, emphasizing the necessity of discipline and punctuality by teachers.

An inquiry has been initiated to investigate the conditions under which the incident took place. The suspended headmaster has been ordered to provide reasons why he was late, and further action will be based on the findings of the inquiry.

It was informed by officials that the teachers and the school principals are responsible for maintaining the dignity of the educational system, and neglect of duties will have stringent penalties. The suspension of the headmaster is an eye-opener for all teachers to maintain professional conduct and to follow up their activities on time. 

The incident has also triggered a discussion among teachers and parents with a majority calling for more regulation to determine responsibility and punctuality among school workers. Different associations of teachers have called for a decent investigation, with the need to investigate if the delay was a result of conditions beyond their control. 

While the investigation goes on, education authorities have ensured that measures will be taken so that such a situation does not recur in the future. The government of Assam continues to stress high standards of education so that students and teachers remain disciplined and professional.
