SRINAGAR, June 8: A delegation of Jammu and Kashmir RET Teachers Forum,  headed by its State vice president Bhupinder Singh, called on  Finance Minister H  A  Drabu and Education Minister Sayed Altaf Bukhari at Civil Secretariat Srinagar and apprised both the Ministers about the pending salary of ReTs, RReTs and Masters working under SSA.  Bhupinder Singh apprised both Ministers that more than 45 thousands SSA Teachers are without salary from last five months and so many Regularized ReTs have not received their pending arrears. He also urged the Ministers to streamline salary of SSA Teachers within a short span of time as Finance Minister had already assured to streamline the same from April of this year by delinking the Central share with State budget.
After giving a patient hearing to the delegation, both the Ministers assured to release their salary of two months on the eve of Eid and added that the issue of streamlining of SSA salary would take more time.
The delegation comprised of Javid Iqwal, Surjeet Singh, Sumit Khajuria, Arjun Singh, Himat Qayoom Wani and others.
