MGGC authorities defy LG’s directions
Staff Correspondent
Mayabunder, Apr 12: It’s a long wait for the Part-Time and Contract Lecturers to get salary from the Mahatma Gandhi Government College (MGGC) Mayabunder. Even today, on 12th Day of April 2012, the pay bills were not ready and as per the statement given by the cashier to the lecturers, it looks unlikely that payment will be cleared even in this week.
This clearly means that this month the file movement for payment will start again on 16 April 2012 and if everything goes well only by 20 April all part-time/contract lecturers will get their payment.
This will also mean that many of these lecturers will enter into their new year (Baishaki/ Pohila Boishak) with empty pocket.
While many allege that this delay is because of the lethargic attitude of MGGC office staffs, the office staff say that the delay is because “The Principal didn’t signed the pay bill yet.”
Whatever may be the reason the Lecturers of MGGC are going through huge psychological pressure because of this delay. Many are unable to pay the room rents, while many are unable to pay the dues in grocery shops.
According to report only in January and February 2012 the lecturers had received payment by 12th other than this since last five six months every months
When last time Andaman Sheekha had reported about this issue the Lt. Governor took immediate action and directed the college authorities to release payment for these lecturers on time, every month but clearly the orders are not being followed.
“As last time the Raj Niwas had interfered into this matter, the cashier often makes fun of us and teases us by saying DON’T WORRY LG WILL COME TO PAY YOU SALARY. We feel disgusted,” said a lecturer who does not want his name to be quoted.
