Assurance given during the elections for increasing retirement age will be implemented: CM KCR

Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Tuesday said the government will appoint special officers in important departments, assign them the rank of a deputy collector or a similar rank and one of these officials will be allocated to the Panchayat Raj Department. These officials will assist district collectors in effective implementation of the 30-day action plan for village development, he said.

Chandrashekhar Rao, who said he considers himself as the chief public servant of the people, called on officials to work with a similar spirit to achieve good results, and also district collectors and officials from the Panchayat Raj Department to ensure successful implementation of the plan.

The Chief Minister also said the assurance given during the elections for increasing retirement age to 60 or 61 years will be implemented. He further said all departments should



prepare promotion charts and employees should be provided with the information about the date when they will receive it.

“The days of lobbying seeking promotions must end and the employees too should withdraw any cases they filed with respect to their promotions. The government is ready to provide promotions to everyone who is eligible and if required, will create supernumery posts,” he said.

The Government will no longer tolerate anyone speaking with anger or abusing any official or government employee at Mandal and Zilla Parishad meetings. Action will be taken against anyone indulging in such behaviour, he said.

Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao also instructed Chief Secretary SK Joshi to take steps for issuing immediate instructions merging Vikarabad district in Charminar zone.
