Even as government employees are demanding that the state implements the Sixth Pay Commission, several polytechnic teachers in aided institutes across the city have still not received arrears since the time they were promoted in 1996.

The faculty members of aided colleges-over 50 of them who were promoted 12 years ago-battled to get the salary they were promised on paper. "It was in 2007 that the state passed an order saying that we would be paid the revised salary. After that, it took a year and since March 2008, we have been receiving the higher payscales,'' said one faculty member from an aided polytechnic institute.

But the whopping arrears that the government ought to pay all of them, have still not come in. S Mahajan, head of the Directorate of Technical Education, said he would meet the faculty members and iron out the issue.
