He pointed out that the staff members currently receive a daily wage of ₹325. However, due to school holidays, they often lose at least 10 working days each month. Raj requested the mayor R Priya to take measures to shift their payment structure from a daily wage to a fixed monthly salary in line with minimum wage norms, to ensure income stability for these workers.

Meanwhile, ward 61 councillor Fathima Muzaffer Ahmed raised concerns over delayed salary payments for sanitary staff working in Corporation-run schools. She noted that there are cases where salaries had been delayed for up to two months and urged Priya to intervene and ensure timely disbursal of payments.
