"We have been pursuing the matter since March. The government did not respond to our petitions. We have no other option but to register our protest," Meghalaya Government Primary School Teachers Association (MGPSTA) General Secretary KS Diengdoh told reporters today.
"We tried to take up the matter in-house as we are government employees. However, our petitions have found no takers," he said
Primary teachers in Shillong, Jowai, Nongpoh, Jowai, Amlarem, Khliehriat Mawkyrwat and Mairang have not received the arrears, but those in Nongstoin and the Garo Hills have already received their due, Diengdoh said.
