VIJAYAWADA: The state government employees’ associations have decided to intensify agitation demanding release of dearness allowance and other arrears.
AP joint action committee (APJAC) affiliated to AP NGO association and APJAC-Amaravati on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction over the government’s stand towards employees.
APNGO president Bandi Srinivas and APJAC-Amaravati chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu held a meeting with various associations of employees and pensioners and held a joint press meet.
“We have waited for the last two years to give some time to the government to solve the issues of retired employees.
“But we are now in financial trouble. Many employees who have retired recently have not received their benefits. The finance department turned a blind eye towards the payment of GPF and other benefits. Not even chief secretary is addressing our issues,” Venkateswarlu said.
“YSRCP gave many assurances to employees before it came into power, but no single promise was fulfilled. We are waiting for our DAs, salaries are getting delayed, PRC recommendations were kept aside, we are unhappy with these developments,” Bandi Srinivas told the media.
Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had assured to abolish the CPS system, but the promise has been ignored by the government and no steps have been taken as yet to keep the promise made by the CM, he added.
The employees’ associations also demanded the government to abolish the CFMS system and make payments manually.
They requested the chief minister to look into the issue and solve the pending demands of employees.
