Municipal school teachers of North & East Delhi urge L-G to intervene in non-payment of salaries – Education News
Claiming non-payment of salaries, teachers of schools run by the North and East Delhi civic bodies on Tuesday urged Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal to direct the city government to release funds for the municipal corporations so that pending wages can be cleared.
In a letter to the L-G, the Nagar Nigam Shikshak Sangh – an umbrella body of municipal school teachers, said that without salaries of September and October, school teachers of the two civic bodies are finding it hard to manage even basic expenses.
Similar is the situation with the retired teachers of municipal schools, the letter claimed. “Due to acute fund crunch in East and North MCD, teachers were not given salaries of September and October.
They could not properly celebrate Diwali and other festivals. “You (the L-G) are the supreme authority in Delhi. So please direct the Delhi government to release funds to the MCDs so that two months’ salary can be paid to municipal teachers,” said Ram Niwas Solanki, the general secretary of the teacher’s body, in the letter.
He also demanded that the North, East and South Delhi civic bodies be unified so that the financial crisis can be solved.
