Telangana government firm on part privatisation of RTC in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: The state government appears to be firm in its decision to go in for part privatisation of the TSRTC. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, who discussed the report submitted by the three-member committee headed by Sunil Sharma for over four hours, said that it would not be advisable to scarp the corporation completely but could go for part privatisation.

The CM felt that there was a need to bring in discipline in the corporation and see that it comes out of red and makes a turn around by becoming a profit-making organisation. A situation should arise where the corporation can give bonus to its employees. At the same time, the Chief Minister said that there was no question of taking back those who failed to report for duty by 6 pm on Saturday. He said there was no need even to issue individual letters to over 48,000 employees since they are deemed to have left the job on their own. Continued on Page 4
