SHILLONG: The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) in Meghalaya has rejected the state government’s remark that salary of SSA teachers could not be paid because the Centre did not release funds.
In a statement issued here, BJYM president Egenstar Kurkalang said the morcha discussed the matter with the HRD Ministry.
“Almost all the northeastern states receive (funds) in time and after that it is the responsibility of the state government to utilise the fund properly, that is why we have seen this problem does not arise in other states like Tripura, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur etc,” he said.
“The SSA teachers in these states get salary regularly. Also, the salary is higher than in Meghalaya. The state government should also take their responsibility to look after and follow up,” he added.
Kurkalang suggested that Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui “do some introspection within the department and the Finance Department to find ways and means to solve the problem of the teachers at the earliest”.
He said the present government should not allow the old system and practices adopted by the previous MUA government run by the Congress.“Rather it should adopt a new chapter of governance and administration by working together with the central government for new hope and futuristic Meghalaya,” he said.
