Tejashwi Yadav urges Bihar CM to release teachers' pending salaries
Some teachers in Bihar teach special subjects like Urdu, Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian.
These teachers help students learn languages that are part of India's history and culture.
A leader named Tejashwi Yadav heard that many of these teachers had not been paid for a long time.
He said some teachers had not received their salary money for about five or six months.
Without their salaries, the teachers and their families struggle to pay for food, school and doctors.
Mr. Yadav also heard that some schools were moving teachers away unfairly.
In some schools, the only teacher for a subject like Urdu was being moved to another school.
That would mean students might not have anyone to teach that subject anymore.
Mr. Yadav wrote a letter to the Chief Minister of Bihar asking him to fix these problems.
He wants the government to pay the teachers quickly and treat every language fairly.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav wrote a letter to Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary urging immediate release of pending salaries for teachers and non-teaching staff of aided madrasas and Sanskrit schools.
Salaries have reportedly been pending for around five to six months, creating difficulties for employees and their families.
Yadav alleged irregularities in the teacher-transfer process, including sole teachers of Urdu, Arabic and Persian being declared 'surplus' in some schools.
He demanded an independent and impartial review of surplus and transfer lists, cancellation of transfers violating rules, and protection of sanctioned posts for Urdu, Arabic and Persian.
Yadav called for a clear policy ensuring Urdu and Sanskrit teachers in every government school and for accountability of officials found responsible for violations.

“"If only one teacher for a subject is available in a school, treating them as surplus and transferring them is equivalent to ending the teaching of that subject in that school," Yadav said.”
