The provincial government had inducted these teachers for 8 months from October 2016 to May 15, 2017 instead of one year to save the salaries of summer vacations and now their contract period is close to completi
on.
There are 2 to 8 contract lecturers working in different colleges of Rawalpindi and this way their total strengt
h runs into thousands all over the province.
All these teachers belong to middle class and most of them are the sole bread
winners of their respective families.
Non-disbursement of salaries to us since the last 7 months is tantamount to starving us and our families to death, said a group of these teachers.
The families of these teachers appealed to the Punjab’s Chief Minister
to take personal interest on this crucial matter and order the disbursement of pending salaries to the contracted staff.
