Employees played a great role in movement

 The chief minister said the employees in Telangana had played a great role in achieving separate statehood for Telangana. TNGO had protected the Telangana identity during the days of united State. During the movement itself, we thought the employees deserve better wages. KCR said the State government is implementing several welfare measures for the employees. After the formation of a separate State, the government gave 42 percent of fitment to the government employees. Their salaries also were hiked. The services of outsourcing employees, contract employees, employees working with meager salaries, employees of the Municipal and Panchayat raj departments have been regularized.

He has instructed the concerned officials that by March end, all the problems of all the employees have to be solved.

Promotion should be given at appropriate time

Promotions could not be given, DPCs could not be appointed due to disputes with AP State. Now that problems have been sorted out, promotions should be given and the resultant vacancies have to be filled by new recruitments. He said every employee on his appointment should know when he would retire and in what position he would retire. There should be no need for any employee to get recommended for promotion. It should automatically be given at the appropriate time.  

Appointments on compassionate grounds

The chief minister lamented the delay in the appointment on the compassionate grounds. Family members who are in sorrow due to the death of their earning member should not be made to run around the government offices for the appointment on compassionate grounds.
