The Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti organised protest demonstrations at a couple of places here in protest against the failure of the State Government to mount pressure on the Centre seeking extension of service for K. Pradeep Chandra, who retired as Chief Secretary on Sunday.
The MRPS activists staged these demonstrations at Ambedkar statues on Tank Bund Road and near ECIL at Kushaiguda.
The State Government had organised a farewell for Mr. Pradeep Chandra at the Secretariat at which he advised the Government to ensure that it did not earn a bad name by not giving importance to officers from the Scheduled Castes. It will affect the career prospects of young IAS officers from these castes, he added.
Mr. Pradeep Chandra said he had a spotless career of 34 years as a bureaucrat.
Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao, who praised Mr. Pradeep Chandra as the brain behind the industrial policy of the State Government promised to utilise the services of the latter for the development of Telangana State.
