Employees at Telangana Urdu Academy’s computer centres and libraries have alleged they have not received salaries for the past nine months, leaving them in severe financial distress.
Mahmood Ali Afsar, president of the Telangana Urdu Academy Computer Centres and Libraries Employees Welfare Association, said that although
funds were allocated in the 2025‑26 Budget, salaries for nearly 150 contract employees across 42 computer centres and 30 libraries remain unpaid.
Staff members said the crisis has made it difficult to manage children’s education, rent, medical needs and daily expenses, with many struggling even during Ramzan.
