CHANDIGARH:
The development comes a day after Hindustan Times had highlighted that the MC failed to pay its employees for the month of December due to the fund crunch.
"The MC has already received ₹487 crore of its ₹560 crore annual grant from the UT till December. On Thursday, ₹40 crore was received, and the salaries of the regular staff will be released by Friday," said MC officials.
The MC has 9,748 employees, including 6,965 outsourced staff. While outsourced staff wages take the largest share of MC's monthly expenditure at ₹26 crore, ₹16 crore is allocated for regular staff.
In routine, the salaries of regular employees are disbursed on the 30th or 31st of every month, but this time, the salaries could not be released with the MC struggling to even pay the rest of its monthly liabilities.
