The Joint Action Committees representing thousands of employees working with various departments in the Telangana region, on Wednesday, vowed to continue the Sakala Janula Samme, the general strike demanding statehood for the Telangana region.
In contrast to the decision taken by Singareni Colleries,
RTC and the
education departments to withdraw the strike, several JACs have unanimously resolved to continue the strike.
They include the employees associated with the TNGOs and NGOs.
Similarly, the employees working with the Revenue, Treasury, Pay & Accounts, Stamps & Registration, and Panchayat Raj departments have also decided to continue their strike.
They have announced that they will not withdraw the strike until the Centre or at least the Chief Minister makes a clear announcement regarding the formation of a Telangana state.
It may be mentioned that the Telangana employees working with many other departments, including at the Secretariat, are still on strike. (INN)
