Tripura Tribal Council Halts Officers' Salaries Amid Pension Payment Dispute
The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) has halted salaries for its Group A and B officers following a High Court order linked to unpaid retirement benefits of a former employee. The court directed the TTAADC CEO, Finance Secretary, and treasury officers to resolve the issue. The state government, represented by Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy, stated it is not responsible for pension dues without Finance Department approval and affirmed the state's fiscal stability despite funding challenges. The matter remains under judicial review.
