The municipality officials had promised to solve the problem and meet their demand by Saturday. However some employees who spoke to local press under condition of anonymity said they have not yet received anything but promises.
Some decided to quit while others preferred to wait for some more days after they received threatening letters stating that they would be fired if they speak to press.
“Until the end of Saturday working hours we did not receive anything with regards to contracts or delayed salaries, though they had promised to meet our needs by Saturday,” an employee said.
“We were promised our delayed salaries for two months, but nothing happened,” added another who feared that they would only be paid for a month.
The head of the human resources at the municipality Samir Husain refused to comment on the matter, adding that only the media center at the municipally have the right to give statements to press.
Last week the media center said it would start on Saturday to resolve the pay issue of the workers at the dengue fever program. It also promised to sign authorized contracts in which it will specify the salaries to these employees. Further it said it would take into consideration the health hazard faced by these workers while dealing with pesticides.
