Resolve pending issues: RTC union leaders
The Union leaders met the chairman at the RTC House and narrated their problems. The Employees Union state president P Damodara Rao, general secretary GV Narasaiah and others met the chairman.
The Union leaders demanded that medical facilities to RTC (PTD) employees should be provided through referral hospitals, purchase and operation of electric buses should be done strictly under APSRTC management and staff, reinstatement of alternative employment under the old policy for medically unfit employees and assurance should be given for the job security of outsourced employees.
The Union leaders submitted the representation in view of the APSRTC Board meeting to be held on Tuesday. They also submitted representations to Zonal Chairmen on Monday, seeking immediate attention to these matters.
The union highlighted that the RTC staff were facing many critical issues after the APSRTC merger with the government. They said around 350 RTC employees die every year due to health related issues and non-availability of good treatment and medical care.
The EU leaders insisted on reinstating referral hospital-based treatment to the RTC staff. They also made other demands such as Implementation of compassionate appointments which are pending since the pre-merger period, disbursement of pending SRBS/SBT dues, Regularisation of remaining contract employees, clearance of 24 months' arrears under the 11th PRC and pending DA payments, finalisation of pending employee promotions overdue for six years and issuance of a recruitment notification to fill 10,000 vacancies and procurement of 3,000 new buses.
EU leaders MDA Siddique (treasurer) stated that APSRTC Chairman Konakalla Narayana assured them that efforts would be made to discuss and resolve these issues during the Board meeting to be held on Tuesday.

Srinagar Diary: Telemedicine services for Amarnath yatris
Telemedicine services for Amarnath yatris For the first time, Amarnath pilgrims will receive high-altitude telemedicine services during the 38-day yatra to the Himalayan cave shrine in South Kashmir, which began on July 3. It's a joint venture between ISRO and the Directorate of Health Services of Kashmir to enhance real-time specialist healthcare in the challenging mountainous terrain. These facilities are operational at the Yatra Base Hospitals of Baltal and Panjtarni. This system links doctors stationed in remote locations on the twin Yatra routes with medical specialists in larger hospitals, enabling quicker treatment, especially during emergencies. Homes for five lakh homeless in J&K About five lakh homeless people in Jammu and Kashmir would get homes under the Prime Minister's Awas Yojana, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced during his visit to Srinagar last week. He said 93 per cent of houses sanctioned under PM Awas Yojana in J&K have been completed. He said a survey pegged the state's homeless population at five lakh, and allotments will begin after the verification process is completed. Lt Governor Manoj Sinha had in July 2023 announced five marlas of land to landless families for constructing their houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna. Helplines for terrorism-affected persons After Lt Governor Manoj Sinha's announcement to notify toll-free numbers for the assistance of families victimised by terrorism, police have established Grievance Cells/Helplines in all 10 districts in the Valley. The victims or their kin can use the helplines to register their grievances. According to government figures, over 40,000 people, including civilians, security personnel and children, have lost their lives in J&K since 1990. Sinha has directed Deputy Commissioners and SSPs in the Valley to reopen militancy and terrorism cases that were 'deliberately' buried and file fresh FIRs. The LG also directed officials to free property and land of terrorism-affected families. Fayaz wani Our correspondent in Jammu and Kashmir fayazwani123@
