HYDERABAD
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka announced that the TG Government would introduce an accident insurance cover of ₹1.02 crore for all government employees in the State. He released an official statement to this effect on Friday evening.
He stated that the people’s government gives top priority to the welfare of government employees, and explained that the government, under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, considers government employees — who take various welfare and development programmes to every household — as members of its own family.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that consultations with leading bankers have been completed to operationalise the process related to the accident insurance. He further noted that, despite financial constraints, the government is releasing dues, pending since the previous regime, in a phased manner on a monthly basis.
He recalled that accident insurance of more than ₹1 crore has already been implemented for employees under Singareni, TRANSCO, SPDCL, NPDCL and GENCO. He pointed out that, through the government-initiated accident insurance scheme of over ₹1 crore, insurance coverage has already been extended to 38,000 regular employees in Singareni and 71,387 employees working in power utilities.
