Teachers in Meghalaya, represented by the KJDSTA, have warned that the state government’s failure to clear pending Dearness Allowance and CPF payments could spark a larger protest.
Teachers in Meghalaya have been waiting for the payment of Dearness Allowance (DA) and Central Provident Fund (CPF) dues that have remained pending for several months. The Kohima Joint District School Teachers Association (KJDSTA) has formally expressed its concerns over the delay.
In a statement released by the union, members warned that if the state government does not settle the outstanding amounts, it could lead to a larger stir among the teaching community. The union cited the impact of unpaid allowances on teachers’ livelihoods and the need for timely remuneration.
The KJDSTA has called for an urgent meeting with state officials to resolve the issue and has indicated that further action may be taken if the government does not comply. The teachers’ union has urged the government to clear the dues within the next few days to prevent escalation.
The state government has yet to respond to the union’s demands, and the situation remains tense as teachers prepare for potential demonstrations if the payments are not made promptly.
