SHILLONG, OCT 6: Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills Vibhor Aggarwal has announced that the process of disbursing the 12 out of 43 months pending salaries to the GHADC employees will be completed before October 15.
Aggarwal was chairing a meeting held between the Sub-Committee, employees of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC), and members of the Non-Gazetted Employees Association (NGEA) on Monday.
The meeting discussed the planning and progress for the disbursement of 12 months’ pending salaries to GHADC employees, as approved by the State Cabinet.
During the meeting, the Sub-Committee presented a comprehensive salary disbursement plan, outlining the steps being undertaken to ensure that the disbursement process is completed by October 15.
Council officials informed that preparations are underway for compiling salary statements and necessary documentation to facilitate the release of funds.
Deliberating on the matter, Deputy Commissioner Vibhor Aggarwal stated that the objective of the meeting was to review the council’s readiness and ensure that the disbursement process proceeds smoothly.
He emphasized that the timely release of the 12-month salary remains a top priority and that the process will move forward as soon as all required documents are finalized.
The meeting concluded with an understanding that all stakeholders will coordinate closely to ensure that the salary disbursement is completed within the stipulated time frame, benefiting all GHADC employees.
Meanwhile, NGEA President Britein Sangma informed the press that although the association is not entirely satisfied with receiving only the 12-month salary, they have agreed to accept it. However, he clarified that the employees have neither agreed to nor given consent regarding the regular salary, which is supposed to be provided from November 1 by the state government, as they have not been clearly informed about the source of the funds or given any written assurance.
He further stated that the NGEA will follow the collective decision of the people of Garo Hills regarding the acceptance of regular salaries, as it has now become a public concern.
Britein Sangma also mentioned that, as per the discussion with the Subcommittee, the 12-month salary is expected to be disbursed in one instalment. However, he warned that if the payment is not made in one go, the association will resume its agitation.
