Subject: Request for adequate grants to cover salaries and all other pending dues

Dear Shri Sisodia,

It pains us to write to you once again to inform you that the grants released on 30.3.2020 for the pending grants to the 12 colleges 100% funded by Delhi Government are woefully insufficient to meet the requirements to pay salaries and other dues to all employees. It is a fact that few colleges were able to pay salaries for a couple of months, but many have not been able to pay the salaries and pension for the month of March.

In our last letter of 26 March (after the Sanction Letter of 25.3.2020), we had requested you to enquire into the same and to release adequate grants to cover all pending dues including salaries, reimbursements and arrears due to employees on account of the 7th Pay Revision and for adequate infrastructure development and maintenance.

We hope that you will take cognizance of the prevailing distress situation in the country and take appropriate steps so as to not add to the distress of the teachers and non- teaching staff of these colleges.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely
