Calls for 2nd phase agitation on November 15
DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 8 (MExN): A total of 1379 Hindi teachers appointed under Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) have not received their salary for the last eight months. The aggrieved teachers have proposed for a 2nd phase agitation on November 15 to demand their due.
Informing this, the All Nagaland Hindi Teachers’ Union (ANHTU) in a press statement urged the concerned department and the State Government to take necessary steps and make arrangements to pay the pending salaries.
The Hindi teachers union also pointed out that even if the Central government has not sanctioned the salaries, it is the duty of the State Government and the concerned department to look into this matter and make quick arrangement for the aggrieved teachers.
Further, the union reminded that the 1379 Hindi teachers appointed under CSS are included in the Central budget for 5 years and after which they will be included in the State budget and this system has been implemented in the following past year i.e., 1977, 1982, 1987, 1993, 1994, 1998, 2006.
The union has therefore urged the State Government not to bring any confusion to the teachers regarding the system. The union has also extended full support to the agitation.
