Chalo Bus Bhavan poster released

Musheerabad: The state general secretary of Telangana RTC Employees' Union (EU), Raji Reddy called upon RTC employees to participate in 'Chalo Bus Bhavan' rally to be held on August 27.

The programme was being organised to demand the State government to merge RTC into the government. He was speaking at the 'Chalo Bus Bhavan'wall poster release programme, held here at the union office, VST on Wednesday.

Raji Reddy said that a GO was released by the then State government in October 2013 to merge RTC into the State, but no action was taken in the direction so far. He questioned the state government why it failed to implement the GO passed in 2013. Criticizing TMU, he said that the recognized union has failed to address employee issues.

He condemned the delay in implementing pay revision which has been pending for more than a year. Raji Reddy demanded that the management provide job security to drivers and conductors, buy new buses replacing rented buses and make final settlements to the employees who have retired.

EU state secretary B Gopal, state assistant secretary B Jakaraiah, Hyderabad zonal president of the union V Muralidhar, executive president of Greater Hyderabad zone Mallesh, division president S Reddy, Dinesh, other union leaders and RTC employees participated in the programme.
