Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Public Transport Department Employees’ Association (APPTD EU) have reiterated their demand that the facilities and monetory benefits that applied to them in the past, before the merger of the AP State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) with the government, be revived.
The PTD (erstwhile APSRTC) Employees’ Union has been seeking restoration of several amenities that have been withdrawn after their merger, and in support of the demands, the leaders joined the 92-day-long protests spearheaded by leaders of the AP Amaravati Joint Action Committee (JAC) across the State.
On Friday, the Employees’ Union State president P. Damodara Rao and general secretary G.V. Narasaiah met Secretary of the Transport Department P.S. Pradyumna and Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of APSRTC Ch. Dwaraka Tirumala Rao and made a representation.
