‘National AIDS Control Organisation has given nod for this’
Though the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) has given nod to allow inter-State transfer (Lateral Shifting) of contract employees working in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the employees have been waiting to go to their home States for years as the AP State AIDS Control Society (APSACS) and Telangana State AIDS Control Society (TSSACS) are yet to take any step on the issue.
Speaking at the NACO’s national meet to review care, support and treatment to HIV/AIDS patients that concluded here on Saturday, president of AP State AIDS Control Employees’ Union Venu Sudarthi said that about 16 contractual employees, who are natives of Andhra Pradesh, are working in Telangana and one contractual employee, a native of Telangana, is working in Andhra Pradesh.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
