All Manipur Elementary School Teachers' Association (AMESTA) today stated that the teachers will not go for election duties if the pending salary is not disbursed.
Speaking to mediapersons at Manipur Press Club, AMESTA general secretary Ch Santakumar said that with no salary for the past six months, teachers have been facing great difficulties.
Amid this issue, the teachers have been assigned election duties.
Unless the pending salary is disbursed, teachers will go for any election duty, he said.
He further said that though the Chief Secretary has given a written assurance to pay the salary on January 30, no positive step has been taken up till date.
