Govt employees receive salaries after 5-day delay in Himachal

Himachal Pradesh government employees received their salaries on Thursday after a five-day delay. CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu blamed the predecessor BJP government for the situation, saying delay was due to financial crunch. Calling it a financial prudence-based delay, he explained that when government issues salaries five days early, it incurs a cost of ₹3 crores/month due to 7.5% interest loan.
