Government school teachers in Jalandhar have flagged significant concerns regarding their pay and pension issues, demanding immediate resolution from the concerned authorities. The teachers, under the banner of various associations, have been raising these issues for months without any substantial action.
Delays in Salary Disbursement
One of the primary grievances is the delay in salary disbursement. Many teachers have reported that their salaries for the past few months have not been credited on time, causing financial hardship. This delay has been attributed to administrative bottlenecks and lack of funds.
Pension Anomalies
In addition to salary issues, retired teachers are facing problems with their pensions. Several pensioners have complained about discrepancies in their pension amounts and delays in receiving their monthly pensions. The teachers' associations have submitted memorandums to the district education officer, demanding a thorough investigation and rectification of these anomalies.
The teachers have warned of escalating their protest if their demands are not met within a stipulated timeframe. They have called for a meeting with senior officials to discuss the matter and find a lasting solution.
Meanwhile, the education department has assured that the issues are being looked into and will be resolved soon. However, teachers remain skeptical and continue to press for immediate action.
