TPCC open letter to CM KCR asks to resolve employees issues

Hyderabad, May 12: TPCC President Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy and Chief Spokesperson Dr. Dasoju Sravan wrote an open letter to Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao asking him to do justice for the employees, teachers and other unions.

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has warned the TRS Government of serious consequences if it further delays resolving of issues concerning employees.

Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan, here on Saturday, Mr Sravan said that the employees have played a major role in Telangana statehood movement while putting their jobs and lives at stake.

He said 'Sakala Janula Samme' and 'Sahaya Nirakarana' proved to be a turning point in statehood movement. Consequently, the employees lost salary for 42 days.

Elaborating on the employees' demands, the TPCC Chief Spokesperson demanded to enhance age of retirement from 58 years to 60 years on par with Central government employees. He also urged that the government take a decision to give the employees a social security.

"Some states in the country are planning to do away with Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) policy in light of Supreme Court ruling instructing social security to the government employees. We demand that you re-examine the CPS method. Hence 1,12,765 government employees under this system need social security. Therefore, you must pressurize the Centre to restore old pension policy," they demanded.
