Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah has asked the government to pay the salaries of metropolis employees within a week. He said the staff have not received their salaries for the past three months. Shah expressed concern over the delay, saying keeping employees waiting for their hard-earned money is unfair. The mayor called on the authorities to act quickly and resolve the issue. He warned that further delays could affect the employees’ motivation and work.
Many workers are frustrated since they have been struggling to handle expenses without their income. Shah’s demand reflects the growing worries over financial mismanagement in the institution. He urged the government to assume accountability and guarantee prompt payments. Protests or interruptions in city services could result if the problem is not resolved quickly.
