Mandya’s guest lecturers are 'struggling'—now the CM is stepping in to fix their overdue pay.
Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar asked Higher Education Minister Basavaraj Rayaraddi to resolve the salary row at Mandya University. Legislators met the Chief Minister on Tuesday (August 18) to report that the university cannot pay 150 guest lecturers. They said, "It is not in a position to pay the salaries."
