AP-JAC Criticizes Government for Ignoring Employee Demands
Imagine a big group of workers who feel like the government isn't listening to them.
These workers, including teachers and other state employees, are upset because they haven't received money they're owed, like extra pay for the cost of living (DA).
They also haven't seen changes promised to help them, like a new way to calculate their pay.
The workers say the government owes them a lot of money and hasn't even started a committee to fix these problems.
They feel ignored, as promises made to them before the government was elected haven't been kept.
They're worried about things like healthcare and retirement pay, and now they're threatening to protest if the government doesn't take action.
AP-JAC criticized the coalition government for ignoring employee demands.
Employees feel neglected despite supporting the coalition during elections.
No Dearness Allowance (DA) has been released since the new government took charge.
The government owes employees nearly ₹30,000 crore, according to AP JAC.
AP-JAC has urged the government to form a Cabinet sub-committee or face agitation.
