APSRTC unions forming JAC to oppose proposed construction of mall on RTC land
Leaders of Andhra Pradesh Public Transport Department (APSRTC) Employees Union on Friday staged a demonstration at Governorpet Depots-1 and 2 in protest against the government decision to construct a shopping mall at the place. Addressing a meet, the Employees Union's Vijayawada zone secretary Y. Srinivasa Rao said the 4.15 acres, which included the Governorpet 1 and 2 depots, the Old Bus Stand and a municipal park developed on half acre of this site, was handed over to UAE-based Lulu Group International for construction of a shopping mall. He called on the RTC workers to oppose G.O. No. 137 released to this effect by the government. Mr. Rao said the APSRTC management had acquired the land where the Governorpet depots-1 and 2 are located now in 1959 after paying ₹16 per square yard, amounting to ₹4.06 lakh. He said transfer of this valuable land to a private entity by the government was condemnable. He called upon all the unions in the RTC, including National Mazdoor Unity Association (NMUA) and Staff and Workers Federation (SWF), to unite under the Joint Action Committee being formed to fight collectively and protect RTC assets.
