Imphal, October 19 2011:
All Manipur Government Graduate-Teachers' Association (AMGOGTA) has demanded payment of monthly salary to the teachers before Ningol Chakkouba festival which falls on October 10 .
In a statement, General Secretary of AMGOGTA N Deben asserted that the Government should change its habit of giving assurance of releasing the pending salary of its employees in time for any festival but actually releasing the salary only after the festival is over.
The latest assurance of releasing the pending salary for the month of September/October by last week of October would be of no good if the salary is released on October 29, a day after the Ningol Chakkouba festival, Deben Mangang pointed out.
