JOWAI: The Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) secondary school teachers have demanded that the state government release their salary that was not paid since July.
In a statement, the teachers said the government, particularly the Education Department, failed to pay their salary for six months.
The teachers had mentioned that annually a grant of Rs 50,000, besides their monthly salary, was received regularly till 2017. “However, for reasons best known to the department concerned, no salary has been paid for the last six months. We do not know why the government has blocked the school grant and our salary since July without citing any reasons,” the statement said.
The teachers informed that they had addressed the issue to the government but in vain. “This is Christmas time. Also, we have to spend more on our children’s education such as admission fees, books and uniforms,” the teachers said while urging the government to look into the problem.
