The workers are receiving Rs 12,700 after all deductions. There are 32 to 35 outsourcing employees working since 2008 in the city libraries.

An Outsourcing librarian on condition of anonymity said, “We are not receiving our salaries in time for last last two years. We want our jobs to be regularised and hope we receive the salaries on time.”

One more outsourcing librarian said, “The government has increased our salaries. But what’s the use we are still not receiving the increased salaries.”
