DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 7 (MExN): Going eight months without salary, the All Nagaland Aggrieved Hindi Teachers Association (ANAHTA) on Friday cautioned the State Government and concerned department that it would boycott classes if their pending salaries are not released.
Reminding Nagaland Government and the concerned department that “our duties are to teach the students and not to pursue with the department for release of our salaries,” the ANAHTA in a press statement has demanded that all their pending salaries be released on or before October 17, 2016. The Association also reminded that the Hindi teachers appointed under CSS are all regular State employees appointed through proper procedure of law. “Therefore, just because we are paid under the CSS does not mean that we can be deprived of our monthly salary,” the press release stated.
Lamenting that the State Government had been giving step motherly treatment to Hindi teachers in the State, the Association has urged the concerned to stop this conduct immediately.
It also stated that releasing of one or two-month salary will not be sufficient and demanded that all their pending salaries are paid within the given time-frame.
