Teachers, TMA staff await salaries

Published November 1, 2006

GUJRANWALA, Oct 31: Women teachers protested against non-payment of salaries for the last two months even on the orders of prime minister and the Punjab chief minister. Speaking at a protest meeting held at Sheranwala Bagh here on Tuesday their leaders said their children were deprived of new clothes on the occasion of Eidul Fitr while shopkeepers were pressing hard to clear their outstanding dues.

They demanded that their salaries should be paid immediately.

NANDIPUR TOWN: A row between Nandipur town nazim and tehsil municipal officer deprived the town employees of their salaries.

The Punjab chief secretary transferred Nandipur TMO Shahzada Amir and appointed Arshad Warriach in his place on a complaint before Eidul Fitr. The new TMO informed senior officers of embezzlement of funds by the former TMO which reportedly infuriated town nazim Rizwan Cheema, the son of former MPA Zafarullah Cheema.

The nazim reportedly stopped the TMO from working and locked his office after an exchange of hot words as a result of which TMO could not sign salary bill of about 600 employees.

They demanded that their salaries should be paid to them instantly as they were facing lot of financial problems and could not pay the tuition fee etc.

When contacted, the nazim denied posting of TMO and said the Punjab government was still to appoint TMO.
