“We have informed the district administrations, we have written so many letters to the state government, tribal department and Chief Minister Office. No one has bothered to even send us a reply,” Praveen Yadav said, president of district Teachers’ Association.
He shared that the association members have been reaching out to officers of education department, but no use. “The department heads mostly are not even replying and of the record, even blaming the new state government,” Yadav said.
The local block education officers and deputy directors had informed teachers that there was some temporary problem with salary disbursal in the Human Resource Management System. “Then, they quoted that salary is normally received late in many private organisations, so 15 days over is not much. Now, it is over 22 days for urban-area teachers and over 3 months for other teachers employed in tribal area,” Yadav said.
