KCR Dismisses 48,660 Employees Of Telangana Road Transport Corporation

In a sensational move, the Telangana government on Sunday announced dismissal of 48,000-odd employees and workers of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) from service, after they launched an indefinite strike demanding solution to their long-pending problems.

Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who held a high-level meeting of officials of the transport department late Sunday evening, announced that the RTC now had only 1,200 employees, including those who did not join the strike and others who returned to their duties before 6 pm on Saturday, a deadline fixed by the government for the unions to call off their strike.

Around 49,340 employees and workers of the RTC have been on strike following a call given by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Telangana RTC employees and workers’ unions since the early hours of Saturday.

The employees have been demanding, among other things, merger of RTC with the state government as was done in the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, where they are being treated as government employees with their retirement being enhanced to 60 years.
