Govt staff JAC defers strike plan after cabinet accepts key demands
Hyderabad: The govt employees joint action committee (JAC) has indefinitely postponed their strike scheduled to be launched from June 9 following the state cabinet's decision to release two DAs and accept some of their main demands such as health cards and transfers. The JAC will meet again by the end of the month after the cabinet decisions are formally documented to decide their future course of action. JAC secretary general Eluri Sreenivasa Rao told TOI that the announcement of two DAs, govt agreeing to clear Rs 700 crore per month in pending bills of employees, constitution of a medical invalidation committee, health cards, a departmental promotion committee for transfers and recognition of employees' unions were some of the main demands of the JAC that have been agreed to by the govt. "As a result, the JAC has decided to indefinitely postpone its strike call. However, the govt did not announce anything about our other main demands such as 51% fitment (Pay Revision Commission) and reverting to the old pension system. There were a total of 57 demands, and the JAC is expecting to meet again with the IAS officers' committee led by Navin Mittal and cabinet sub-committee led by deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka to seek a commitment from the govt on the remaining demands," Sreenivasa Rao said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en San Rafael (ver precio) Verisure Undo Sources in the govt said that although the cabinet discussed the 51% fitment (PRC) demand, it was of the view that more time was needed to announce a consensual fitment, if not 51%, as the govt has decided to clear pending bills of employees every month and has also announced two DAs, both of which are financially intensive demands. "A decision on increasing the retirement age of govt employees was kept pending, anticipating severe backlash from the students and unemployed youth. The govt is of the opinion that no step should be taken at this juncture which may antagonise the youth, who are happy with the incumbent govt giving nearly 60,000 jobs in its first year of office. A decision on the age of superannuation may be taken after panchayat and municipal polls, but only after giving job notifications for at least another 30,000 govt posts," said the source. Regarding the employees' demand for reverting to the old pension system, an election promise of the Congress, sources said the govt may make an announcement about it only in the last year of its present term or a few months before the next assembly elections.

Hyderabad police arrest Rajasthan teen for posing as IAS, IPS officers to swindle money from their contacts
The Hyderabad police Wednesday announced the arrest of a 19-year-old man from Rajasthan for allegedly impersonating senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officers online and fraudulently obtaining money from their contacts. They said he was involved in two similar cyber fraud cases in Telangana. The accused, identified as Arbaj Khan, is a resident of Bahadurpur Patti Meeran in Alwar of Rajasthan. He was arrested based on a complaint from senior Telangana IAS officer Navin Mittal. The probe found that the accused created fake Facebook and Whatsapp accounts in the name of IPS and IAS officers, cheated their colleagues, and extorted money from them. In one instance, the accused allegedly tricked one of Mittal's friends into sending Rs 99,000 by claiming to be selling household items. According to the police, the fraudulent account was used to send friend requests and solicit money from the complainant's friends and relatives. The accused also allegedly used the complainant's photographs to create multiple fake profiles, falsely claiming to be a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officer, and sent inappropriate and misleading messages. He was creating fake DPs and collecting money, the police added. A mobile phone used in the commission of the crime has been seized. The Hyderabad cybercrime police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under sections 66 C, 66 D (cybercrimes involving identity theft and cheating by personation using computer resources) of the Information Technology Act, and 318(4) (cheating), 319(2)(cheating by personation) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha (BNS). The accused was brought to Hyderabad on a transit warrant and remanded in judicial custody by a local court Wednesday. The police issued an advisory to the public to remain vigilant and not fall prey to messages or friend requests on social media platforms that claim to be from senior government officials and request money.
