In a step aimed at helping resolve the pending issue of the employees of Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC), chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami approved a sum of Rs 34 crore for their salaries and other expenses. Dhami said that the state government is committed to the interests of the employees and eager to resolve all of their problems.
It is pertinent to mention here that due to buses not being operated during the Covid-19 pandemic, the salaries of the corporation employees were not being paid due to the loss suffered by UTC. This issue was discussed in detail during the cabinet meeting on July 14 and the chief minister was authorised to take a decision for providing assistance to resolve the issues of the employees. Following up on that decision, Dhami approved a sum of Rs 34 crore for the salaries and other expenses of UTC employees.
