Newly recruited irrigation AEEs decry non-payment of salaries

Hyderabad:Assistant executive engineers (AEEs), who have been working in the irrigation department for the last four months, have urged the government to ensure payment of salaries and give them postings based on the multi-zone system taking into account their local status.

The AEEs, who had previously taken this issue to the notice of their higher ups, on Monday, yet again petitioned that they are facing untold problems on account of delays in salary payments that have arisen as a result of their postings. They said that the finance department was not releasing their salaries on the ground that their postings were ‘not as per norms’.

At least now the government should take immediate steps to sort out the issues and ensure the salaries are paid on time, including to the newly recruited AEEs, they said.
