Teachers of DU take to FB and Twitter to protest non-payment of salaries in 12 colleges under Delhi Govt


Employees of the 12 DU Colleges 100% funded by Delhi Government find themselves in an unprecedented crisis as they go without salaries for the fourth month.  

In a spontaneous online  action programme, hundreds of teachers added frames to their FB profile pictures and tweeted demanding that the Delhi Government should release grants immediately.

The DUTA finds it extremely unfortunate that instead of ensuring physical and mental well-being of employees and citizens, the Delhi Government by not responding to repeated requests and protests, is forcing teachers to hold yet another physical protest amidst the ongoing health crisis.

Withholding grants citing excuses such as non-formation of Governing
Bodies, paucity of funds, enquiries set up in a few colleges and now corruption charges on these colleges is unacceptable.

These 12 DU Colleges are amongst the best Colleges in the country. It is unfortunate that inordinate delay in grants and the ongoing crisis is destabilizing these units.

Teachers will reach Mandi House at 2 pm tomorrow to participate in a Human Chain.

Rajib Ray
President, DUTA
