On June 11, the Department of Education issued a circular titled 'Online Applications for Transfer of Teaching Staff from Directorate of Education', directing all teachers who have worked for more than a decade in a school to compulsorily apply for transfer.
The Directorate of Education issued a circular stating that the orders for the transfer of teachers issued on July 2 had been put on hold until further orders.

"On July 2, the transfer orders of more than 5,000 teachers were withdrawn. To stop the educational revolution in Delhi, the BJP got thousands of teachers transferred through LG sahib. However, due to the people's struggle of Delhi, this conspiracy failed," he said.
Atishi said, "The Kejriwal government is committed to providing good education to the children of Delhi, no matter how hard we have to fight for it."
Atishi had issued written instructions to the Directorate not to proceed with the transfers and had asked Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar to stop them immediately, citing allegations of corruption in the process.
Earlier on Sunday, Atishi posted a video under his name to 5,000 teachers.
Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena also suggested suspending the transfer orders and asked Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar and the Directorate of Education to take a "holistic and comprehensive" view of the matter.
The decision was taken after a meeting with a delegation of the Government School Teachers' Association (GSTA), led by state BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, on Sunday at Raj Niwas. Several MPs from Delhi were also part of the team.
