Stalemate ends, Governor grants approval for TSRTC merger Bill

Ending two days of tug of war between the government and the Raj Bhavan, Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan on Sunday has granted her approval for the introduction of the TSRTC Bill .

A press communique from Raj Bhavan this afternoon said the Governor granted her approval for the introduction of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (Absorption of Employees into Government Service) Bill 2023 in the Telangana State Legislative Assembly while making some recommendations to the State Government.

The latest development brought to an end the tussle between the Government and the Governor’s office. The last 48-hours saw protests by TSRTC employees, who staged a demonstration outside the Raj Bhavan. The Governor, who was away in Puducherry, held a video conference with the employees’ union representatives where she clarified her stand on why she sent back the draft Bill. She asserted that employees interest was on top of her mind.
