As many as six Block Grant left-out employees of the Maharishi Women’s College at Sailashree Vihar here on Monday staged a protest in front of the Principal’s office opposing the latter’s alleged apathetic attitude towards them.
According to Pratima Mishra, an agitating lecturer, six employees including two lady lecturers, a PET and three peons of the college have been deprived of Block Grant facility while 34 other employees institute are included for the facility.
“We are now getting Rs5,700 and even less monthly. Since we are not included under block grant facility in 2009, the college governing body headed by local
Sub-Collector asked the college Principal to give Rs2,000 more to us and a resolution has also been passed to this effect. But the Principal is yet to comply with the order of the Sub Collector,” alleged Mishra.
She maintained that they would resort to indefinite agitation of the authorities fail to meet their genuine demands at the earliest.
