TGSRTC committed to employee welfare, says MD VC Sajjanar
Hyderabad, May 27 (UNI) Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) Managing Director VC Sajjanar reaffirmed the corporation's commitment to the welfare of its employees, stating that all pending issues will be addressed in a phased manner with the support of the state government.
Sajjanar made these remarks during a meeting with the State-level Employee Welfare Board held at the TGSRTC Kalabhavan in Baglingampally on Tuesday.
As chief guest, he interacted with board members and senior officials, taking stock of field-level issues and receiving valuable feedback.
He emphasised that the management prioritizes the well-being of employees who are working with dedication to ensure passenger safety. Highlighting several welfare initiatives, Sajjanar said that salaries are being paid on time every month, the 2017 PRC and 2013 RPS bonds were released with 21% fitment, and pending Dearness Allowances (DAs) have been sanctioned.
The MD informed that compassionate appointments have been provided to the families of 2,350 employees who died in service, and jobs were offered to 537 medically unfit employees. Under the Grand Health Challenge initiative, health screenings were conducted for all staff, resulting in life-saving interventions for 726 employees and 184 of their spouses.
Sajjanar addressed concerns over temporary recruitments of drivers and conductors to manage the increased workload due to the Mahalaxmi scheme. He clarified that while 3,036 regular posts have been approved by the state government, recruitment is delayed due to technical reasons but will be conducted strictly according to rules. He urged employees not to be misled by false propaganda or provocative statements being made by a few individuals.
He also appealed to the central government to support TGSRTC in procuring electric buses, with backing from the state government, in line with green mobility goals. Sajjanar assured that all decisions made by the management are transparent and in the best interest of both the employees and the organisation, with no personal motives involved.
He encouraged Welfare Board members to act as a bridge between the staff and management and to openly communicate employee concerns to senior leadership. He added that the suggestions made during the meeting will be seriously considered.
The meeting was attended by Executive Directors Munishekhar, Khushrosha Khan, Solomon, Venkanna, Rajasekhar, Finance Advisor Vijayapushpa, heads of departments, and others, a TGSRTC statement said.
