IL&FS may have finally secured the release of its four Indian captive employees in Ethiopia, but the ITNL-Elsamex JV imbroglio is still marred by the plight of its 44 employees. IL&FS hasn’t paid their salaries yet, despite repeated assurances from the company.
One of the employees tried to commit suicide due to the non-payment of salaries, and the consequent piling up of debts. Thirty-six haven’t been paid their salaries since July 2018, while four haven’t been paid since May 2018, and another four since April, said Rajesh Davuluri, who was the Finance Manager at the Nekemte project in Addis Ababa.
