Imphal, October 18:
With the festivals of Diwali, Ningol Chakkouba and ied drawing closer anxiety of teachers whose salary had been held up for the past few months is growing by the day as All Manipur elementary School Teachers' Association, Imphal Zone-I appealed to the State authorities to process for release of August and September entitlements.
Expressing strong resentment on their salaries being held up initially under the pretext of the MGEL exercise, the Association drew the attention of Finance Department on what compelling factor is the salaries being held up till date inspite of completing MGEL process.
While high ranking and responsible officials particularly of Education Department had been enjoying their monthly entitlements the salaried class had been made the proverbial sacrificial lamb, decried the Association referring to these officials not covered under the ambit of the MGEL rigours.
