Dispute over,AHA classes to resume

Following the dispute,several faculty and management members had submitted their resignation on October 21. It is to be seen how many withdraw their resignation and return to work tomorrow.

AHA director Sapna Gupta said first she would order an enquiry against the local management,but hastened to add that what she meant by “enquiry” was the conduct of a general “audit”. She said she has already dispatched funds to overcome the crisis.

Blaming recession for the delay in salary,she said: “We have had a bad season due to the slowdown that led to delay in distribution of salary,but now we have resolved the issue. I sent my representative and funds to pay the faculties and other staff because the priority is students…”

Heena Bansal,assistant branch manager,said: “We have seen the institute grow right from its inception. Now,we are also witnessing its downfall,thanks to the attitude of the directors towards their staff. People are working here for the past two months without salary¿ We all resigned on October 21 and stopped coming to the institute from October 22. About the future course,I don’t know how many would come back.” Ravindra Jain,branch manager,AHA has also resigned. However,he said he would re-consider his decision for the benefit of students and the company. “The management has not accepted my resignation and they are requesting me to consider the situation and withdraw it,which I plan to do.”
