CADC Employees and Teachers Announce Indefinite Strike Over Salary Delays
In a significant development, administrative operations and educational activities under the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) are poised to grind to a complete halt starting Thursday. This disruption stems from an indefinite strike declared by employees and teachers affiliated with the council, who have not received their salaries for more than four months, as reported by HC Vanlalruata.
Unanimous Decision for Agitation
The decision to initiate the strike was made during a joint meeting held on March 30 in Kamalanagar. The gathering included representatives from the Chakma District Council Employees’ Association (CDCEA), the Chakma District Council Teachers’ Association (CDCTA), and heads of various departments under the CADC. Unanimously, the participants resolved to proceed with the agitation beginning April 2, citing a lack of response from authorities to their previous representations regarding the salary issue.
Impact on Council Operations
The indefinite strike is expected to severely impact the functioning of the CADC, with key areas affected including:
- Administrative works: Routine governance and public service activities will be suspended.
- Educational activities: Teaching and learning processes in schools under the council will come to a standstill.
This move highlights the growing frustration among council workers over prolonged financial neglect, which has now escalated into a full-scale protest.
