Telangana Secretariat employees’ bodies have strongly opposed the draft guidelines issued by Kamalanathan Committee for division of employees between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States.
Speaking to reporters separately in the Secretariat on Monday, TNGOs Secretariat unit president Shravan Kumar Reddy and Secretariat Women Employees’ Association president D. Subhadra said the guidelines were against the interests of Telangana staff. They stated that option should not be given to the spouses if both belonged to one State.
SC, ST employees, Heads of Departments and Secretariat employees should be divided based on their nativity as giving option them would lead to Andhra Pradesh employees occupying several posts in Telangana, they explained. Options to SC, ST employees would deny new employment opportunities to SC, ST aspirants of Telangana, they said. They alleged that the draft guidelines favoured AP staff as they were prepared in the AP Secretariat. They warned to agitate over the discrepancies in Section 18 (F) of the Presidential Order under which HoDs and Secretariat employees are given options.
