Armoor:State government employees have a lot to cheer about with Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Thursday announcing plans to increase the retirement age of the employees from the present 58 to 60 or 61 years once TRS comes to power.
Following requests from the employees unions, the TRS Party Election Manifesto Committee was examining the feasibility and will propose the revised age of retirement in its manifesto
shortly.
Addressing the Praja Ashirwada Sabha here, Chandrashekhar Rao asserted that the TRS had always been employee-friendly and advised the government staff not to be fooled by false promises made by some political parties. “We gave the government employees the highest fitment benefit that no other State in the country can match. We are also actively considering giving interim relief at an appropriate time after forming the new government,” he said.
