DUTA urged the Union Government to immediately approve the pay revision of the non-teaching employees of the Universities and the colleges without any further delay to mitigate their financial hardships to some extent.
"The Cabinet decision can only be appreciated or responded to in its entirety when the details of the decision are communicated in full, through Gazette Notification," a statement from DUTA said..
DUTA also expressed its skepticism and apprehension about the secrecy in decision-making.
"University and College Teachers are apprehensive about the long list of pay-related anomalies that had arisen from the previous Pay Revision and are yet to be resolved. The DUTA also appeals to the Government to release the Dearness Relief for pensioners at the earliest since it has not been released for the last two installments," said the statement.
