Telangana government employees plan peaceful strike on October 2

Talks between State government employees and Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju over their long-pending issues remained inconclusive on Monday. Accordingly, office bearers of employees, teachers and pensioners associations are planning to stage a peaceful strike on October 2.

The Chief Secretary held a meeting with representatives of the Telangana Government Employees Joint Action Committee (TGEJAC), an umbrella organisation of teachers, employees and pensioners associations, on Monday



afternoon.

However, there was no positive announcement from the meeting. It was decided that another meeting would be held later in the day after speaking to Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka. But, with the Deputy Chief Minister in Tirupati, the talks were eventually postponed to Tuesday.

“There was no progress or conclusive decision taken. Unconvinced by the government approach, plans are being made to stage a peaceful strike on October 2 with office bearers of 206 associations,” a TGEJAC member said.
