As for those who were not paid for April and May salary and the Eid grant, the Committee confirmed to be added to the June salary.
The meeting underscored the payment of salaries to the states affected by the war.
The Director stated that the January and February arrears, the Eid Al-Fitr grants, Eid Aladha, and the differences are the right of the pensioners, but pointed out that the current circumstances under which the country is going, does not allow payment, but pledged to pay them as soon as circumstances permit.
