Lack of funds and restrictions on clearing bills have affected the functioning of BUDS School and Rehabilitation Centre, with a student strength of 42, at Thalachira.
While the staff members have not received their salaries for the last three month, food and transportation bills too remain uncleared.
“The school is under the Vettikavala grama panchayat and we have been told that the bills could not be cleared due to treasury restrictions. We expected salary arrears last month as it was Onam, but the situation remained the same. By next week, the staff will be working without any remuneration for four months. One of the ayahs is a widow with a differently abled daughter and we all are in dire straits,” said a teacher.
