Telangana may adopt Andhra Pradesh model for Road Transport Corporation employees absorption

It was on Monday that the Cabinet approved a decision to treat 43,373 TSRTC workers as government employees, a primary demand of TSRTC’s trade unions which Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao dismissed, during the 2019 strike, which left public transport largely affected.
