Joint Action Committee seeks amendment to recruitment rules in Puducherry
A spokesperson of JAC said over 2,000 employees were left in the lurch since the revised Recruitment Rules were yet to be framed. Though the posts have been redesignated, the employees were yet to receive promotion and wage hike. Workers attached to the JAC will picket the office of the Secretary to Government (Electricity) and the Puducherry Electricity Department on July 3 to highlight their grievances.
The JAC said in a statement the protest was necessitated by the department's failure to address several workers' grievances that was degrading the efficiency of the power sector.
The JAC has also demanded that the ad hoc posts of engineers and workers working in the department should be regularised and the benefits of the Central Pay Commission be immediately passed on to employees.

Andhra Pradesh JAC Amaravati welcomes revival of Monthly Grievance Day for employees
The Andhra Pradesh JAC Amaravati has welcomed the State government's decision to reinstate the Monthly Grievance Day initiative to address employee concerns at both the department (HOD) and district collectorate levels. In a statement issued on Thursday, A.P. JAC leaders Bopparaju Venkateswarlu and Palisetti Damodara Rao recalled that employee grievances were largely ignored during the previous administration. This prompted the JAC to launch a 92-day statewide agitation, which culminated in the issuance of Government Order Rt. No. 1233, dated June 24, 2023, mandating the conduct of Grievance Day on the third Friday of every month across all departments and districts. However, the JAC pointed out that the initiative had not been implemented uniformly across the State. In response, the JAC escalated the matter to the Chief Secretary at the Chief Minister's Office on December 5, 2024. The issue was subsequently forwarded to the General Administration Department (GAD) via CMP Note No. 709/Prl Secy/(MRC1)/2024, dated January 6, 2025. Following this intervention, the GAD issued a memo on July 6, 2025 (Memo No. GAD01/SWODMDS/4/2025-SW), reaffirming that Grievance Day must be held regularly and that all pending employee issues should be resolved within a specified timeframe. Departments have been instructed to conduct fortnightly reviews of complaints and ensure strict adherence to the original 2023 guidelines.
