Leader of Opposition Pradipta Kumar Naik on Tuesday severely criticised the State Government for not regularising Lecturers of Grant-in-Aid colleges and not paying salaries to them regularly.
“Lecturers of private colleges which have got Grant-in-Aid since 1994, are yet to be regularised. They have not received salaries for the last 21 months. While Government college Lecturers are taking home over Rs 15 lakh as post-retirement benefit, ones retiring from private colleges are only getting about Rs 5 lalk. When this discrimination will go,” wanted to know Naik in the Assembly during the Zero Hour.
He again wanted to know why the 7th Pay Commission recommendations would not be implented for such Lecturers. He asked the Governemnt to make if clear to the college tearchers politely if it is running short of funds. He demanded a ruling from the Speaker.
