Srinagar, Jan 01 (KNO): Employees of various departments of Jammu and Kashmir are perturbed due to the non-disbursement of salaries for the second consecutive month, leaving their families in dire straits at large. As per the reports received by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), there are thousands of employees, who have not been paid their salaries for the past two months as the funds allocation has been halted by the finance department. A senior official told KNO that there are various departments especially the PWD department and its allied wings that have not received the salaries for the months of November as well as December so far. “The departments have forwarded the requirements but the finance department is yet to allocate the funds. There are no reasons being provided for this so far,” said the official. Various employees told KNO that there is no official word coming from the concerned quarters about when their salaries will be released. This, according to them, has left their families including their children to suffer. “We have home loans and when we do not pay the installments, we have to pay the increased interest against the non- payment. We have kids whose results are awaited as we couldn't clear the school fee. This has happened for the first time that such a financial situation has emerged in the departments like PWD. This has never happened before,” an official pleading anonymity said—(KNO)
