The Chief Minister has asked the ADG (headquarters) Neelmani to thoroughly investigate it and bring the guilty to book.

Unpaid teachers will not celebrate Eid or Dussehra
Over 10,000 teachers of colleges and universities in Bihar will not celebrate Eid or Dussehra festival this year as they have not been paid even a paisa for the last four months. Even as the government has sanctioned necessary funds for payment of salaries to the college and university staff, the payment is unlikely to be made before the festivities since most universities have already been closed for Puja vacation.
Taking strong exception to the inordinate delay in payment of monthly salaries to the teachers, the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Federation of University (Service) Teachers' Associations of Bihar (Fustab) and Federation of University Teachers' Associations of Bihar (Futab), at its meeting held here on Friday under the joint presidentship of Ram Jatan Sinha and K B Sinha, demanded immediate release of funds to the universities. The government is trying its best to humiliate the teachers by issuing all sorts of "dictates" and compelling them to starve by withholding payment of their salaries, the JAC said.
Instead of following the dictates of the HRD with regard to their daily attendance, the college and university teachers would act as per the provisions of the university Acts and statutes. Teachers have already been discharging their duties efficiently and the university authorities are competent enough to catch hold of the "shirkers", observed the JAC.
JAC conveners Dilip Chaudhary and Sanjay Kumar Singh warned the state government that the teachers would court arrest before the state legislature if their demands were not conceded by it soon. link
