Bangalore: The Bangalore University College Teachers' Association has urged the Government to release the salaries of the 1,070 teachers of the bifurcated pre-university colleges.

The salaries have been withheld for the past four months, according to a press release here on Sunday.

The association said a memorandum in this regard had been submitted to the Principal Secretary, Department of Higher Education.

The association claimed that the 1,070 teachers, who were on deputation to pre-university colleges, were facing problems because of the non-release of salaries.

Even after bifurcation of the teaching staff deployed to pre-university colleges, the Department of Collegiate Education was releasing salaries.
