Ludhiana, June 15

The financial condition of the Municipal Corporation (MC) is again in question as the employees have not received their salary for the month of May to date. It is learned that the state government has not released the GST share of the MC, Ludhiana. The employees are demanding that their salary must be released at the earliest.

An employee said, “We have not received the salary of month of May. The state government has not released the GST share of the MC. The government should release the GST share so that we can get our salary.”

Coming in support of MC employees, a Congress leader and former councillor, Parminder Mehta said the MC could not pay salaries for May month to its employees till now due to its poor financial system. Mehta said that the half-month of June has passed but the employees are still waiting for their salary.

He said, “Some employees told me that they have to pay instalments of various types of loans in the initial days of every month. They will have to pay a fine for delaying the instalment.”

Mehta appealed to the Punjab Government to make all required arrangements so that the salaries of the sanitation workers, sewermen and class IV employees of the MC must be released on time every month.
