VASCO: Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) released salary of the municipal workers for the month of December 2019.
The aggrieved workers, who were to receive their salary on Friday, finally received the same on Monday. The salary was delayed due to the technical problem, informed Chief Officer Gaurish Sankhwalkar.
It may be recalled that on Saturday, municipality workers stopped work after they failed to receive their salary. According to sources, MMC workers annually receive salary a bit early in December on account of Christmas and New Year. But, this year workers didn’t receive their salary prior to Christmas or on January 1.
When inquired it was learnt that Chief Officer Gaurish Sankhwalkar was on long leave, which was one of the reasons for the salary delay. Another reason cited by the Sankhwalkar was that on Friday, the server was down and therefore salary couldn’t be released.
