Perambalur government college staff end agitation
The HinduStaff members of the Government Arts and Science College, who had been staging a sit-in protest on the campus at Kurambalur in Perambalur district from July 22 over non-payment of their salaries since October 2023, called off their agitation on Monday on the condition that pending salaries of administrative staff should be settled by the end of August. In a statement on Monday, the college staff said 43 teaching and administrative staff members of the institution, who were affected by the non-payment of salaries, had decided to end their strike keeping the welfare of students in mind. After repeated petitioning, salary payment had resumed earlier last week to the teaching faculty but they continued the agitation to express solidarity with the nine administrative staff who had not been included in the reimbursement plan. We hope the authorities will resolve the issue of unpaid dues to our administrative staff members by the end of August,” the statement said.
