Hyderabad: The Congress on Wednesday demanded that the Telangana Government immediately resolve the pending grievances of government staff.
In an open letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, AICC spokesperson Dr Sravan Dasoju slammed the State Government for delay in implementation of new Pay Revision Scale (PRC), lack of Interim Relief (IR), non-enhancement of age for retirement, dysfunctional Health Cards and other promises made with the government employees. “While these problems were brought to the notice of the government by the employees’ unions and opposition parties multiple times, but unfortunately, no attention was paid towards them and they have been kept unresolved for unknown reasons,” Sravan said in his letter.
Sravan pointed out that previously, the State Governments have released Interim Relief (IR) in considerable percentage, pending implementation of PRC report/ recommendations. However, the present TRS Government has kept both IR and PRC unimplemented despite the lapse of due date long ago. The delay is abnormal causing heavy loss to over 4 lakh employees and 2.5 lakh pensioners. Therefore, he urged the Chief Minister to implement the new PRC with retrospective effect from 1st July, 2018.
Stating that employees of Telangana Government were eagerly waiting for the early redressal of their demands, Sravan urged the Chief Minister to prioritize the announcement of IR, implementation PRC and other demands raised by government employees. (NSS)
