DIMAPUR, APRIL 25 (MExN): All Nagaland Hindi Teachers’ Union (ANHTU) has, for the umpteenth time, appealed to the Nagaland Government to release the pending salaries of Hindi teachers under CSS at the earliest. A press statement from ANHTU general secretary, AS Yarthotngam informed that 1379 Hindi teachers of 2012-13 batch have been deprived of their monthly salaries since December 2015 till date-which it alleged was ‘discrimination’ against the Hindi teachers. Lamenting that the affected teachers are facing many hardships due to non-receipt of their salaries, the Union explained that they were even finding it difficult to cover their transportation costs incurred during performing duty. Besides, it was also affecting their children because of the difficulty to cover the expenses of their tuition fees, the Union said. The Union has also urged the State government and the concerned department to submit the Fund Utilization Certificate to the Government of India on time so that there is no delay on release of funds by the centre. It questioned on how the teachers are expected to perform their duties sincerely, if, they are not paid for their work and duties.
