In his statement on the Labour Day issued in London in today (Wednesday), Ch Shujaat Hussain said that presently salary is not paid for six months even and those resorting to this also include big institutions also.

He said it is generally said that the worker should be paid before his sweat dries up but practically this is not happening which results in anarchy.
