Telangana Employees Demand Action on Long-Pending Service Issues
Telangana government employees say many promised benefits are still delayed.
Their leader, V Lachhi Reddy, asked whether creating Telangana had made things harder for employees.
He said workers had supported the statehood movement because they expected better service conditions.
The employees want the Pay Revision Commission report implemented and unpaid Dearness Allowance released.
They also want the Old Pension Scheme restored instead of the Contributory Pension Scheme.
The group raised concerns about retirement payments and the employee health scheme.
It said some long-serving outsourcing workers had lost their jobs.
The Employees’ JAC listed 42 problems and plans to keep discussing them with the government.
Telangana Employees’ JAC chairman V Lachhi Reddy questioned whether statehood had become a “curse” for government employees.
The JAC alleged delays in Pay Revision Commission benefits, Dearness Allowance payments, retirement benefits and employee health scheme implementation.
Reddy urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka to honour assurances made to employee representatives.
The JAC demanded restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, immediate PRC implementation, pending DA arrears and monthly release of Rs 2,000 crore.
The organisation identified 42 issues, including concerns involving GO 317, GO 25, GO 81, contract workers and outsourcing employees.
