All members present in the meeting expressed their strong resentment over non-disbursal of the salary with the result their families have to celebrate Lohri and Makar Sankrati festivals without money due to the irresponsible attitude of the J-K UT Government.
While addressing the meeting, Ganesh Khajuria expressed his anguish & great concern because in spite of the various representations & appeals to the concerned authorities for the timely release of the salary in favour of the teaching employees, nothing has been done for the payment of salary for the reasons well known to those sitting at the helm of affairs.
Ganesh Khajuria urged the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is also holding the portfolio of Finance Minister of J-K UT, to intervene personally and issue the orders for the immediate release of the salary for the month of December 2025 without any further delay in order to provide justice and give a sigh of relief to curtail the sufferings of the Teaching fraternity of the J-K UT so that they can manage their family expenditures and celebrate the pious religious festival of Lohri according to their religious faith & customs .
Those who attended the meeting included S Surat Singh Toofani, Gopal Singh, Darshan Sharma, Jamayat Ali Agah, Kuldeep Singh Bandral, Pawan Sharma, P D Singh, Kuldip Verma, Gautam Singh, Parveen Sharma, Iqvinder Pal Singh, Kapil Sagotra and others.
