They said that the employees who came from Hyderabad and working in the Secretariat used to get 30 per cent HRA. Now the committee of officials is planning to issue a GO fixing the HRA at 8 per cent asper Central government slabs. When they objected to this, the officials stated that the GO will be kept in abeyance.
The employees leaders said that all sections of employees are dissatisfied with the PRC fitment and now if the government issue GO fixing HRA at 8 per cent, they would be left with no alternative but announce an action plan for struggle after Sankranti festival. They said if the government issue GO basing on Central government slabs, the Secretariat employees will lose 22 per cent HRA, employees working in districts 12 per cent, those working in municipalities 6.5 per cent and those working in mandal headquarters 4.5 per cent.
