Talking to IANS, the teachers said that their grant had been released and that adhoc teachers, guest teachers and contractual employees constitute upto 50 to 60 per cent of employees in these colleges.
Most of these teachers and staff live in rented houses. The employees were under stress due to non-payment of their EMIs, car instalments, children’s fees etc., said sources.
