State Legislative Council chairman Dr A Chakrapani on Thursday rejected the adjournment motions moved by different members.
TRS MLC N Laxman Rao demanded that the State Government honour the promises that it made with the employees to make them withdraw the 42-day long general strike. Moving an adjournment motion in the Council, he said that in the agreement it was promised that the 42 days strike period would be counted as leave, half salary for the strike days would be given and cases against the employees would be withdrawn. However, nothing concrete has been done yet.
Teachers’ member of the council, MVS Shastry, in an adjournment motion raised the issue of contract employees in the State and demanded that their services be regularised. Another member P Laxman Rao demanded filling up of thousands of posts lying vacant in 179 aided-degree colleges across the State. (INN)
