SHILLONG: Education Minister Prof RC Laloo said that the Government plans to release the salaries of the lecturers of the Government colleges before this Christmas.
While informing that the lecturers of the Baghmara, Williamnagar and Sohra Government colleges are yet to receive their salaries for the past four months, Prof Laloo informed that the reason for the delay in release of the salaries was due to some procedural requirements.

Earlier, NCP legislator Marcuise N Marak urged the Government to speed up the process in releasing the salaries of the lecturers.

He said that the new principal has been to take over the administration of the college within 15 days from the date of appointment.
