The telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) merger bill, which would treat more than 43000 employees of the public transport company as government employees, was approved by the telangana state legislative assembly on Sunday. Following a protracted drama including significant staff demonstrations urging the governor not to postpone signing the law, state governor Tamilisai Soundararajan ultimately approved the TSRTC merger bill with some suggestions to the state government.
According to state transport minister Ajay Puvvada, the yearly cost of absorbing staff into the government will be Rs. 3,000 crore. The state cabinet decided to integrate the TSRTC with the government on July 31, during a meeting by chief minister K chandrasekhar Rao.
KCR Thanks Governor
KCR made fun of her while discussing the law in the assembly, stating that she "got into trouble without understanding the bill." He also thanked the governor for signing it. "Public transit was the reason the rtc was established. But as time went on, it incurred significant debt. In the past, I served as the minister of transport. The debt at the time was Rs 14 crore. Through a number of initiatives, we wiped off the debt and earned Rs 14 crore in profit," he added.
KCR added that each government action "comes with a lot of responsibility." "The cost of diesel has grown to be a significant hardship for the TSRTC. Every day, it consumes 6 lakh liters of fuel. After five hours of discussion, he said the cabinet agreed to move through with the merger concept.
The opposition claimed that the merger concept was motivated by the state government's desire to control the TSRTC's assets, but the chief minister also refuted this claim. "It's false. Young IAS officers will be appointed, and the transport organization will resume operations. bus stops will be updated, and if additional property is needed for development, we will acquire it, he added.
The Pay Revision Commission (PRC) will govern how TSRTC personnel are treated, according to KCR's announcement. Employees are pleased that their jobs will now be secure. The governor made a number of unnecessary clarifying requests. Finally, though, she understood her error and signed the bill. I appreciate her for the workers and for me," he said.
