AP,Telangana secretariat employees fight over jobs, hold each other’s throats
- Telangana and AP employees held each other’s throats in the Telangana Secretariat
- They even came to blows in some instances, media’s presence disrupts tense atmosphere
- The incident happened between the Secretariat Employee Union and TNGO employees
FollowThe reason for this argument between the Telangana employees seems to have arisen from the postings of AP employees. The TNGOs gathered in the D block of the Secretariat regarding the transfer of 24 AP Section Officers. The Telangana Secretariat employees became angry with the TNGOs for not giving them prior information about the meeting. They tried to stop the meeting. As a result there was pushing and shouting and this led to a tension-filled atmosphere.
The Telangana government relieved 24 AP regional Section Officers six months ago. But the AP government did not accommodate them in Andhra Pradesh. In this regard all the employees wanted to come back to Telangana. The TNGOs accusation is that the Telangana Employees Union leader Narendar Rao is in support of the AP employees. They also blame that because of the encouragement of Narendar Rao, the AP officers are trying to enter through the backdoor. That’s the reason their meeting was stopped by the Secretariat employees.
When the two groups were holding each other’s throats, the media entered the scene. They then dispersed quietly.
