Employees working for the Quli Qutub Shah Urban Development Authority (QQSUDA) in Hyderabad have not been paid for over three months. There are about 60 to 70 non-regular employees who have been receiving nominal payment for years, some even for almost two decades. Since March, they have not received their salaries despite multiple requests to management.
K Sudharani, who works at the QQSUDA office at Darul Shifa, expressed concern about the situation, stating that it has been difficult to survive without their salaries. R Kamalamma, another long-time employee, also shared the struggle of trying to support her family amidst the delay in payment.
Karwan MLA Kausar Mohiuddin recently raised the issue with Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Finance. He highlighted the hardships faced by QQSUDA staff due to the delayed salaries and urged for immediate action to release the payments for their livelihood.
