Jalandhar, December 1
Members of the Aided School Teachers and Other Employees Union said in case of non-payment of salaries of their primary school employees, in the coming few days, they would be forced to take the path of protest.
Teachers of primary-aided schools in the district have been going without salaries for the past eight months. Despite requests to the department and officials concerned, none of the employees has received any wages.
Speaking on the issue, the Aided-School Employees Union district president Arvind Bains and Public Relation Officer Manish Aggarwal said salaries of aided higher secondary schools and high schools were released in September, but those of primary schools had not been disbursed since March this year, leaving teachers to languish without vital finances.
They said these employees had not even received the first instalment of the pending dues as per the Fifth Pay Scale, whereas the government was going to release the third installment for the government employees.
Union member Principal Deepak Sanan said information regarding the non-receipt of salaries by teachers was also conveyed to the Director, Primary Education, but even after passage of the eight months, no action in this regard was taken. He said teachers would be forced to take to protest if the government stayed unresponsive. Aided teachers would not be responsible for any loss to students’ studies if that happened, he added.
