Employees of UCCA Limited in Sariakandi upazila of Bogra operating under the Bangladesh Rural Development Board (BRDB) have remained unpaid for the last 50 months, forcing them and their families to live in severe hardship. Discussions on bringing UCCA employees’ salaries under the government revenue budget have been ongoing for several years, but no effective measures have been implemented. As a result, Shaheen Alam and his family are struggling to meet basic needs. UCCA employees working in different parts of the country are facing the same prolonged salary arrears, leaving many families in distress. “I completed my master’s degree and joined what I believed was a government job,” Shaheen Alam said.
