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.

Telangana government not sincere in fulfilling its declarations, says Harish Rao
HYDERABAD: Finding fault with the Congress government for failing to implement earlier declarations and coming out with a new one, BRS leader and former minister T Harish Rao alleged that the government lacked sincerity in fulfilling its promises. In a statement on Monday, Harish Rao criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who claims to hail from Nallamala, for allegedly ordering arrest of tribals while simultaneously announcing the Nallamala Declaration. 'Is this what you call Praja Palana?' Harish Rao questioned. He said the public was angry with the government for not honouring its assurances. 'Farmers are in a pathetic situation, forced to make repeated rounds to banks due to the government's failure to waive crop loans,' he said. He added that farmers who lost their crops at procurement centres or due to hailstorms were looking to the government for support. Harish Rao further pointed out that women were still waiting for the promised Rs 2,500 monthly support under the Mahalakshmi scheme. Parents of unmarried girls were awaiting the one tola gold, and girls were yet to receive the two-wheelers promised to them. Unemployed youth were eagerly waiting for notifications to fill two lakh government jobs, while students were hoping for Rs 5 lakh cards under the Vidya Bharosa scheme. He alleged that pensions had not been disbursed to physically handicapped persons, and government employees were still waiting for their DA installments and the implementation of the Pay Revision Commission. 'The government hasn't even absorbed RTC employees into regular government service,' he said. Harish Rao also criticised the chief minister for being inconsistent in his statements. 'The chief minister, who recently claimed that the state was bankrupt, is now saying that Telangana ranks number one in tax collections,' he said. 'Even the chameleons in the Nallamala forest are shocked at how frequently Revanth Reddy changes his colours,' he quipped.

We will not stay quiet while lakhs of employees suffer at the hands of a negligent government,' they said. The BRS leadership stressed the need to develop a clear action plan in the coming days. The party also announced its support for serving employees' union leaders and urged former union heads, especially those who played a vital role in the Telangana statehood movement, to take part in the renewed effort.
