MDU Teachers Serve Legal Notice Over Delayed Pay Fixation and Withheld Increments
Around 80 teachers at Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), Rohtak, have served a legal notice to university authorities over delayed pay fixation following promotions, withheld annual increments, and recovery of PhD increments granted years ago. The Maharshi Dayanand University Teachers' Association (MDUTA) alleges that despite repeated requests, these financial grievances remain unresolved, affecting benefits like dearness allowance and house rent allowance. The association demands immediate pay fixation, restoration of increments, and a halt to recovery actions, warning of potential protests if issues persist.
