Kalimatov ordered the payment of wage arrears following teachers' complaints.

In Ingushetia, wages are beginning to be paid to education workers who complained about delays, reported Bers Bankhaev, head of the Regional Control Center. Previously, Ingush school teachers complained to Kalimatov about wage delays before the holidays.

According to Bers Bankhaev, head of the Regional Control Center, the Ministry of Finance has completed all necessary work at the direction of the Head of the Republic. Funds for the second instalment of December wages have already been transferred to general education and preschool institutions. Payment is expected on the morning of December 31.

"We have received information that wage transfers will begin today. The relevant agencies are working in an enhanced mode to ensure all payments are made on time and in full," Bankhaev wrote on his Telegram channel.

He noted that in recent days he has received a large number of requests from teachers and other educational institution employees. "People are concerned about the fact that December salaries for this year may not be paid until next year," Bankhaev explained.

Earlier, reports appeared on social media that teachers, as well as employees of several organizations subordinate to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Culture, had not received their salaries ahead of the New Year holidays. They were promised payment by the end of December, but it was later announced that the funds would not arrive until January.

On December 29, the Telegram channel "Fortanga" published information that Ingush school teachers had complained to Kalimatov about salary delays before the holidays.

Staff at schools in Ingushetia, as well as at several public organizations, did not receive their salaries ahead of the New Year holidays. Employees of several educational and government institutions under the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Culture, and other ministries reported this to the editorial board, according to a Telegram channel.

According to them, they were promised payment by the end of December, but were later told the funds would not arrive until January. The employees intend to contact Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov. "Kalimatov should know that the Minister of Education is violating Russian laws. Schools in the republic have been left without salaries; they say they won't be paid until after the New Year. I ask you, as the head of the republic, to assist and pay our salaries," reads one of the appeals received by the channel's editorial office.

In recent days, employees of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, and other departments have left dozens of comments with complaints on social media.

"Good morning! Can you tell me if teachers' salaries should be expected in December?" asked user IW.

"Where are our salaries?" indignantly demanded Makka_Dt.

"When will teachers' salaries be paid? There's money for concerts, but we don't have the funds to pay people their salaries," wrote Ya Here..

"And I want to hear an explanation as to why there's a multi-million dollar hole in our republic's budget? Where did the money go? The budget is budgeted for a year. I want to hear the truth: where is the money? The salaries of doctors, teachers, cultural workers, student stipends, subsidies? And who will bear the responsibility? We are literally surviving," said Madeleine.

"I suggest we file a collective complaint with the prosecutor's office; they don't understand it any other way. They are obligated to compensate us for every day of delay. As long as we remain silent like this, nothing will change; they'll forget about us until the end of the holidays," suggested Miss Llll.

"Please give me a concrete answer: will we get our salaries today??! People are sick; we really need the money for medicine." "They're needed. Give me this miserable salary! They've stopped the malingering, there are no bonuses, no financial assistance... There's nothing. Can you give a constructive and factual answer???" asked Elizabeth.

"So, will there be salaries today or not? Looks like the window for January closes in half an hour," wrote user Magamed_ Ozdoev.

"I heard that the money has already been delivered to educational institutions and payments are expected on December 31st, that is, tomorrow," suggested Muslim.

"They were delivered after public sector employees complained en masse. And according to the law, they were supposed to pay by the 30th," replied Mkll.
