Telangana government employees have asked for four important changes.
They want the Pay Revision Commission report to be completed.

Another request is better implementation of the Employees’ Health Scheme.
They want money owed to serving and retired employees to be paid.
Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju discussed these requests with senior government leaders.
The government says it is positive about solving the issues, but it must check whether it has enough money.
