Port Blair, June 23: The PCC President Kuldeep Rai Sharma has written a letter of request to the Lt. Governor with copy to the Chief Secretary and Chairman, ANIFPDCL wherein he has stated that the wages for Industrial Workers and Salaries for the regular employees of ANIFPDCL have not been paid with effect from the month of April, 2015. The reason for non payment is that fund has not been released from the A&N Administration even though provision was made in the budget.

The non payment of wages and salary for the past three months to the Industrial workers and employees distressed them further and their livelihood are jeopardized, said Kuldeep. He further stated that the workers and employees are concern about the education of their children as the schools and the colleges for their children have already been reopened and they are not in the position even to pay transportation charges to their children and bear the other expenses. 

The PCC President has invited the personal attention of the Administrator to intervene and release the fund from A&N Administration to make the payment of wages and salary to more than 1000 workers and employees of ANIFPDCL.
