Speaking at the JAC’s State secretariat meeting held at the Revenue Bhavan in Vijayawada, Mr. Venkateswarlu pointed out that at a meeting held on February 12, members of the Cabinet sub-committee and officials of the Finance Department had said that the government had to pay arrears worth ₹20,000 crore to the employees and assured that dues worth ₹5,000 crore would be released by March-end.
Mr. Venkateswarlu said the officials should discuss the matter and give clarification on the issue to the employees’ associations. He said if the government failed to heed their plea, the AP JAC Amaravati would meet at Vijayawada on February 22 and chalk out a plan of action in this regard.
The JAC secretary general P. Damodara Rao, associate chairman T.V. Phani, treasurer V.V. Muralikrishna Naidu and others were present.
