Mumbai | Sunday | 18th February, 2018

Summary:

Janardan Jangale, president of thje Teachers Democratic Front (TDF) told DNA that the teachers’ salaries were credited to the nationalised Union Bank since 2011. The teachers have alleged that the salaries have been intentionally delayed as they had moved the High Court against the Maharashtra government’s decision to MDC. Vice president of TDF, Rajesh Pandya, said, “Many teachers have to pay their bills, EMI’s, loans and have to bear medical expenses. The teachers had raised concerns over the resolution as MDCB is known to have a bad reputation, he added. The salaries of over one lakh teachers from state-aided schools have been pending for a fortnight after the Bombay High Court ruling which ordered the state to deposit their salaries in the Union Bank of India..
