The AP JAC Amaravati has warned the Andhra Pradesh government of a Statewide agitation if it fails to announce decisions on the pending financial and service-related demands of employees by August 15.
In a statement issued on Sunday, AP JAC chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu and general secretary Palisetti Damodar Rao expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in implementing the assurances given during discussions with Ministers on July 10 and 11 and the Cabinet Sub-Committee on July 22. They alleged that the government was deliberately delaying decisions despite holding talks, thereby creating uncertainty among employees.
The leaders said salary arrears amounting to nearly ₹28,000 crore pertaining to the previous government and liabilities estimated at around ₹25,000 crore under the present government were yet to be cleared. They maintained that employees were only seeking the payments and benefits legally due to them.
They also criticised the government for not releasing dearness allowance (DA) instalments for the past two years, implementing interim relief (IR), constituting the 12th Pay Revision Commission (PRC), restoring the additional quantum of pension for eligible retirees and operationalising the Employees’ Health Card scheme.
The AP JAC leaders further highlighted 27 pending demands relating to contract, outsourcing, and Village and Ward Secretariat employees. They said that if the government failed to announce concrete decisions by August 15, the AP JAC would convene a State-level meeting in Vijayawada and launch a statewide agitation.
