State govt. gives nod for appointment on compassionate grounds
Meanwhile, the next of kin of APSRTC employees who lost their jobs after being declared medically unfit staged a dharna in Vijayawada on Wednesday demanding appointment on compassionate grounds.
They said the Corporation had released a G.O. announcing that one of the family members of the ‘medically unfit’ employees would be given a job on compassionate grounds.
Citing their mounting financial woes, they said since the heads of their families were ailing, they had medical expenses to meet besides the burden of taking care of their families. Stating that the meagre pension was far from adequate for the family, they appealed to the RTC authorities to consider their appointments too in the Corporation, along with the kin of the employees who had died during their service.
Informing that there were 170 such employees in the State, they urged the Corporation management to address their woes at the earliest.
