GBA, 5 Municipal Corporations Staff Not Paid September Salary
Bengaluru: The September salary of the staff of Greater Bengaluru and five municipal corporations has not been paid.
On September 2, the BBMP was dissolved and the Greater Bengaluru Authority was formed. Five municipal corporations also came into existence. Knowing this, the BBMP officials had paid the August salary in the last week of that month. But the GBA and municipal corporations have not paid the September salary even after a month of their existence, even by October 4.
GBA Chief Commissioner Maheshwar Rao had said that money has been transferred to the bank accounts of municipal corporations for emergency management and staff salaries. In previous years, there was a process of paying the staff in advance and early during the Ayudha Puja. But this time, the staff complained that the salary has not been paid even though Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami have passed.
‘In the previous 10 years of the corporation, the employees have not faced such a miserable situation. The Greater Bengaluru Authority was formed on September 2. "No action has been taken to pay the September salary till date," said A. Amrit Raj, a city corporation officer and president of the employees' welfare association of the Greater Bengaluru Authority.
"Meanwhile, B and C grade staff of the city corporations have been assigned for the work of the Social and Educational Survey 2025, but the salary bill has not been prepared in any office of the corporation. There is no staff in the accounts department to take action regarding the payment of that bill. They are all actively involved in election duty, survey work and other work," he said.
"We will continue to perform our duties in the same way. However, in a big city like Bangalore, if the salary is not paid on time, we will have to face many problems. In such a situation, we kindly request the higher officials of the corporation to pay attention to this matter and pay the September salary quickly," he said.
