A shocking incident in Himachal Pradesh came to light when a school principal’s cheque bounced due to a glaring error, raising concerns about accountability and financial management in educational institutions.

The cheque, which was expected to clear smoothly, was dishonored due to an error that could have been avoided with proper verification and oversight.

This incident serves as a reminder that educational institutions must adopt stricter financial protocols, proper training for administrators, and a system of checks and balances to prevent such embarrassing sit
