Chandigarh Teachers Await Pay After Reinstatement
Imagine 42 teachers in Chandigarh lost their jobs but were later told they could come back to work.
A special court said they should be allowed back.
These teachers did go back to work, but they haven't been paid for three months.
They've asked for their money many times, but they haven't gotten it yet.
The teachers are having trouble paying for their families' needs because of this.
They want the government to pay them and also create a plan so this doesn't happen again.
The government hasn't responded to the teachers' requests.
42 teachers in Chandigarh are awaiting salaries for three months.
Their services were initially terminated but reinstated by the CAT.
The Association of Assistant Professors (Contractual) Government Colleges, Chandigarh, stated the issue.
Teachers resumed duties after CAT order, but salaries were withheld.
The association has requested salary disbursement, but received no response.
