MNS Teachers' Wing Slams Govt Over Delay in Benefits for Retired ZP Staff

Nagpur: Maharashtra Navnirman Shikshak Sena , the teachers' wing of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), has strongly criticised the state government for delaying financial benefits to retired Zilla Parishad (ZP) employees, particularly teachers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The government is releasing funds for new schemes like Ladki Bahin, but retired employees are still waiting for their gratuity and other emoluments," said Sharad Bhandarkar, state secretary of the organisation. He questioned the priorities of the administration, stating, "When we speak to ZP authorities, they cite a fund crunch. Does this mean funds are available for new schemes like Ladki Bahin, but not for those who served the system for decades and now depend on pensions for survival?" Bhandarkar further pointed out that even the courts have ruled that all post-retirement benefits must be disbursed within one month of an employee's retirement.
