#Social inequities
The current policy in Kerala, where higher-ranking officers receive timely salary payments while employees of lower strata, such as Anganwadi teachers and elderly pensioners, face prolonged delays, reflects a serious governance failure.
Prioritizing the financial security of top officials while neglecting those who serve in critical, grassroots roles undermines the principles of equality and justice in public administration.
Anganwadi teachers play a crucial role in child development, and social security pensions are often the only source of income for the elderly. Denying them timely payments not only deepens social inequities but also erodes trust in government.
A prompt correction is essential to ensure that all citizens, particularly the vulnerable, are treated with fairness and dignity.
