The Managing Director of NBSTC has informed the matter to all Depot in Charge on 5 October 2023 and instructed to execute the decision of the transport department, following the recent order of the Finance Department, until further order.
Notably, sixteen months ago authorities had enhanced remuneration from Rs 13,500 to 15,500 per month for several contractual employees on seniority basis.
“At present they will be getting Rs 13,500 per month following the decision of the Finance department. Contractual employees are also upset following another decision to pay back the excess amount they received,” official sources said.
