[ad_1]

ISRO has created history by successfully launching Chandrayaan-3 on July 14. But many workers working in this mission are going through financial crisis. The engineers who built the Chandrayaan-3 launch pad have not been paid for 17 months. They are running their house by borrowing money from relatives. This information has been given by news agency IANS.

Engineers from the Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) in Ranchi built the mobile launching pads on orders from ISRO, the news agency said. About 2700 employees and 450 officers work in this company.

The salary was not received, yet the order was completed on time

ISRO had ordered Ranchi, Jharkhand-based HEC Company to manufacture various equipment, including a mobile launching pad. But payment was not made as per orders. Despite this, the company completed ISRO’s order ahead of schedule in December 2022.

Employees said – they run the house by borrowing from relatives

In May 2023, an English website called Frontline ran a news story about an employee salary issue. It was stated that the employees are using the Provident Fund (PF) money to run their household. Many employees are living by taking loans from relatives.

The central government is not ready to help

IANS quoted sources as saying that the HEC company has requested Rs 1,000 crore several times to the Ministry of Heavy Industries. To this, the ministry replied that the central government cannot help.
