Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has slammed the department of school education over the delay in release of salaries of the teachers and demanded immediate release of pending salaries.
NPCC through its communications department stated that the role played by teachers in a society cannot be emphasized enough. NPCC termed as “deplorable” the education department making it “a habit of delaying the salaries of teachers without any justifiable reason.”
NPCC also strongly condemned what it described as the “abject incompetence and governance deficit” of the education department and the government. It sought an assurance from the detachment that no such delays would occur in the future. “We also want to make it clear that we totally stand behind our aggrieved teachers in this just cause of theirs,” NPCC said.
The Congress party said it considered “this injustice” against the teachers as “nothing less than a full-scale assault on the rights and future of our Children.”
