Namdapha Tiger Reserve Workers Demand Six Months' Unpaid Salaries Amid Financial Hardship
Nearly 200 workers at Arunachal Pradesh's Namdapha Tiger Reserve have not received salaries for six months, causing financial hardship. Employees under the Centre's Project Tiger and contingency categories continue their duties but face difficulties paying for essentials, school fees, and medical expenses. They have submitted a memorandum demanding payment within 10 days and warned of a possible work stoppage. The delay is attributed to non-release of funds by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest, with salary delays reportedly recurring annually.
