The teachers falling under the NPS of the School Education Department are without salaries for the last five months, whereas in several zones they have not received their salaries. The teachers have expressed serious concern over the unprecedented delay in the release of salary.
The teachers said that they have to go for off places to perform their duties but without salary, they find many problems even they celebrated many festivals empty pockets.
