Mancherial: TGSRTC employees demand merger with government

The employees announced that they would intensify a stir against the government if it did not respond to their protests.

Mancherial: Wearing black badges, employees of state-owned TGSRTC staged a dharna demanding merger of the corporation with the government as part of a state-wide protest here on Tuesday.

V Bheemshwar Rao, a leader of the employees, said that the Congress promised to merge public transportation with the government. However, it has not fulfilled its promise so far. Arrears of the workers have not been paid so far. No fresh recruitments of employees were taken up to avoid workload on the employees, he regretted.
