Dimapur, August 25 : The plight of more than 1,000 Hindi teachers in Nagaland continues from their not having been paid for seven months. The All Nagaland Hindi Teachers’ Union (Union) issued another press release appealing to the government of Nagaland and the department of School Education to release their due salaries at the earliest.
‘The 1, 379 Hindi teachers appointed under a centrally-sponsored scheme haven’t been paid their salaries for seven months from February 2016,’ the union stated in the press release.
“The union, therefore, appeals strongly to the state government to look into the matter and take a serious note on it. As, the aggrieved teachers are facing many hardships in maintaining their daily expenses and also the school fees of their children, some of the teachers are even posted in some outskirts for which they have to incur the travel expenses,” the organization stated.
“And they have been incurring all these expenses like payment of the school fees of their children, maintaining household expenses and many other expenses from their own pockets despite their salaries being kept pending for 7 months.”
Considering the suffering and ‘unbearable hardships’ faced by these 1,379 Hindi teachers, the union has appealed to the department of School Education and the Nagaland government to release the salaries at the earliest.
