The Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) has not paid its staff members their salaries, leading to faculty associations staging a demonstration at the university campus on Monday.
Seeking the Tamil Nadu government’s intervention, office-bearers of various associations of teaching and non-teaching groups, urged the government to take immediate steps to disburse their salary.
While the protesters found fault with the Vice-Chancellor and a few administrative heads for the non-payment of salaries, senior university officials said that it was mainly due to a move imposed by the University Grants Commission (UGC) that had led to a severe funds crunch.
