AAP government orders pvt school to disburse pending salaries

New Delhi: The AAP government has directed Guru Harkishan Public School in Punjabi Bagh to disburse salaries to teachers and employees after a probe found an inordinate delay in salary disbursement since March last year, according to an official order.

The government has also asked all schools to ensure that salaries are disbursed maximum by the 7th of every month.

Following complaints from the teachers of Guru Harkishan Public School, the Directorate of Education (DoE) had ordered an inquiry into the matter. The school authorities were not available for comment.

A senior officer said: “An inquiry was conducted to inquire into the allegation and as per their report, some delay might have occurred due to the introduction of the centralised accounting system or due to transfer of funds from the cash-rich branches to non-cash rich branches of the GHP schools.”
