1,600 workers at Aligarh Muslim University on strike over non-payment of salary

The protesters, most of them temporary workers employed on a daily wage basis, gathered near the Vice Chancellor’s office on Saturday to convey their pain. Rihan Ahmad, the secretary of the Technical Staff Association of the University, told that about 1,600 non-teaching temporary staff have not received their last month’s salary. AMU Proctor Mohammad Waseem told that the representatives of the protesting staff are in touch with top university officials.
