KCR to meet with government employee unions on May 16

The Telangana government is likely to accept all demands put forth by state government employees’ unions. Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to announce a new Pay Revision Commission (PRC) headed by a retired IAS officer with time-bound guidelines.

On Friday, cabinet subcommittee members Rajender and Jagadish Reddy submitted its report to KCR. Later, KCR held a detailed discussion on the report with chief secretary SK Joshi, finance principal secretary K Ramakrishna Rao, secretary Shiv Shankar, CMO principal secretary S Narsing Rao, special secretary Bhoopal Reddy and others. 

CM later instructed that the cabinet sub-committee members and officials should meet again and study



issues in detail.

KCR will hold a meeting with state government employees, teachers and TSRTC employees on May 16 instead of May 14. CMO officials said the meeting was delayed as demands of TSRTC employees, who are on a warpath, were also added. The state government last week constituted the cabinet sub-committee. Cabinet sub-committee had held discussions with employees’ and teachers’ associations on 18 demands including a new PRC, transfers, abolition of central pension scheme and restoration of old pensions schemes after September 2004, request to bring back all Telangana employees from AP, lifting of ban on transfer and start general transfers to employees.
