District Magistrate Sanjiv Ranjan said the step has been taken in compliance with the instructions issued by the Uttar Pradesh government.
"Henceforth, salaries of madrasa teachers will be disbursed based on their biometric attendance records," he told reporters.

Authorities have not yet provided a timeline for when the investigation into unregistered madrasas will resume.
