Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President & MP A. Revanth Reddy demanded the immediate repeal of GO 317 which was issued for allotment of staff to new local cadres.
In an open letter to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Revanth Reddy demanded that the impasse over postings of employees and teachers due to GO 317 must be put to an end by modifying the guidelines. He said that GO 317, in its present form, was doing more harm than good for the employees and teachers. The fresh guidelines must be issued after holding discussions with the representatives of teachers and employees unions.
Revanth Reddy said that the Telangana statehood movement was based on the slogan of ‘Neelu, Nidhulu, Niyamakulu’ (water, funds, and jobs). The employees and teachers have played an active role in the Telangana movement with the hope that the separate State would put an end to all injustices they met with, especially with regard to appointments on the basis of their native district. They participated in the agitation without fearing any consequences. However, the present allotment and transfers being made by the State Government have caused mental agony to the employees and teachers as they are being subjected to huge injustice.

The TPCC President said allocations and transfers were being done in such a non-scientific manner that even the employees and teachers were being rendered as non-locals in their native districts. The State Government has issued GO MS No. 317 on December 6, 2021, for the allotment of staff to new local cadres in nearly 63 departments of the government as per the new Zonal Policy. Of nearly 4.5 lakh employees, the State Government undertook the allotment and transfers of nearly 2.5 lakh employees.
He said that the allotment as per the new Zonal Policy in Telangana has become a blessing for some and a curse for others. The new districts were not being taken into account as a unit for allotment and transfer. While seniors are being given an option in postings, juniors are being transferred to remote areas. Despite living in the district for over 20-30 years, they are being treated as non-locals. Further, the state government is not giving an assurance to reinstate employees who have been transferred to non-local districts in those positions if the seniors retire.
Revanth Reddy said that the State Government did not rectify the mistakes in the seniority list pointed out by the teachers. Vacant posts in schools that are far away from the District Headquarters were being shown. Further, the regular counseling procedure was abolished so as to deprive the teachers of a fair opportunity to select an option. He alleged that the GO 317 was issued to adjust employees and teachers on a permanent basis based on seniority.
While senior employees were given allotments in the urban areas, junior employees were being forcibly sent to rural areas. There will be no chance of fresh vacancies for another 30 years in the districts where junior employees are allotted. The district cadre is estimated to have over 60,000 employees over the age of 50 across the state. Consequently, there will be a risk of loss of nearly 60,000 jobs.
