Outsourcing employees of the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) in Rajgir have not received their salaries for the past eight months, leading to severe financial distress. In response to this issue, the employees submitted a memorandum to the Assistant Engineer, demanding the immediate payment of their outstanding wages. The workers stated that due to the non-payment, they are facing immense difficulties in supporting their families. Paying children's school fees, buying groceries, and managing daily expenses have become challenging.

The employees reported that they have been consistently contacting the department, but their concerns have not been addressed. Despite repeated assurances, salaries remain unpaid. They have warned that if their demands are not considered promptly and outstanding wages are not disbursed, they will be compelled to launch a large-scale agitation. This protest could also impact the department's operations.

The Assistant Engineer listened to the employees' grievances seriously and assured them that he would escalate the matter to higher authorities and strive to ensure timely salary payments. He stated that the department understands the employees' difficulties and is working towards a permanent solution to this problem. However, the employees are no longer satisfied with mere assurances and are demanding concrete action. This situation could indirectly affect PHED services in Rajgir, as the workforce is disheartened and frustrated.
