SETAN extends ultimatum for release of pending salary

Dimapur, September 9, 2014: The Special Education Teachers’ Association of Nagaland (SETAN) has called off the ‘Black Day’ which was scheduled to be observed on September 11 in protest against the non release of pending salaries.

SETAN had earlier issued an ultimatum demanding that the pending salaries be released on or before September 10.

A press note from SETAN informed that the decision to call off the ‘Black Day’ was taken after recommendation by its parent body ANSTA to provide more time to the concerned department “as the procedure involves some amount of time.”

It informed that the ultimatum has now been extended till September 26, “in default of which, they will observe a black day at the Directorate the next day.”

SETAN President, Vikato I Chishi reminded that Special Education teachers in the state have been deprived of salary since September, 2013. “In case the Department fall short to deliver the demand within the timeline, SETAN will in no way be responsible for any imbroglio or situations arising out of it,” he cautioned.
