Hyderabad, Jan 27 : Government employees in Telangana took to streets on Wednesday to lodge their protest against the Pay Revision Commission (PRC) report, which recommended 7.5 per cent salary hike over basic pay.
Furious over the meagre hike recommended by the panel, the employees and pensioners made it clear that nothing less than 43 per cent fitment (salary hike) will be acceptable to them.
Raising slogans against the government, the employees came out on streets in Hyderabad and other parts of the state and set afire the copies of PRC report.

Hyderabad, Jan 3 : At a time when thousands of farmers are protesting on the Delhi borders against three new central farm laws, anger is brewing among the farming community in Telangana as well against the state’s move not to purchase agricultural produce in their villages.
Farmers’ groups and opposition parties are gearing up for statewide protests against the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government’s decision not to set up procurement centres in villages to purchase various crops.
Interestingly, the government cited new farm laws while announcing the move last week, prompting farmer organisations and non-BJP opposition to slam it for its “U-turn on farm legislations”.
