Telangana Employees Rally for Rights and Recognition

The Telangana Employees Joint Action Committee (TGEJAC) made its voice heard on Friday, as hundreds of state government employees gathered at Bheema Bhavan in Hyderabad's bustling Tilak Road. This protest, a powerful display of unity, was a response to the committee's statewide call for action during the lunch break.

Led by TGEJAC Hyderabad City's chairman, Katkuri Srikanth, and convener Ganduri Venkateshwar, the event attracted a diverse group of participants. Among them were representatives from various associations, employees, gazetted officers, teachers, pensioners, and even Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) employees. The crowd's energy was palpable as they united under a common cause, their voices echoing through the streets.

The employees' demands were clear and urgent. They called for a 51% fitment in the Pay Revision Commission (PRC), emphasizing the need for fair compensation. The implementation of the Employees Health Scheme, a long-overdue initiative, was also at the forefront of their agenda. Additionally, they demanded the release of pending bills, a crucial step towards financial stability for many. The abolition of the CPS and the restoration of the old pension scheme were also key concerns, reflecting the employees' determination to secure their retirement benefits.

As the protest concluded, the participants dispersed with a sense of determination. The TGEJAC's efforts have not only brought attention to their immediate demands but have also ignited a broader conversation about the rights and recognition of government employees in Telangana. With their collective strength, they aim to shape a future where their contributions are valued and their voices are heard.
