AP Govt. will take appropriate decision on CPS policy, says Botsa Satyanarayana

Andhra Pradesh Minister Botsa Satyanarayana said the government is in favour of teachers union on the issue of CPS. He told the media on Monday that a proper decision would be taken on the CPS‌ policy. He said it was inappropriate to seige the Chief Minister's Office. He said it was the responsibility of the government to ensure that peace and security were not disrupted.

Botsa said the committee would look into all matters as laid. He said there would be another meeting on it and was incensed over TDP and BJP as to why they are making unnecessary fuss over teachers' leave.

Hundreds of teachers in Guntur, Srikakulam, East Godavari and Nellore districts were called to the station and given notice and detained from leaving homes.

The police have set up baricades around the CM's camp office. Suspicious people were arrested. Vijayawada CP said that agitators will be arrested and strict action will be taken.
