With rumor of flying high on the shifting of heads of department to Vijayawada causing concern among the employees, AP government chief secretary reassured the employees today that there no decision on the such migration had been taken.
Yesterday he held a meeting with the representatives of the various associations of government employees to elicit their preparedness to move over to Vijayawada.
In the meeting there was an all-round dissatisfaction among the employees that government had unilaterally decided to shift the heads of the department to Vijayawada. Citing childrens education, status of nativity, lack of accommodation, HRA etc the employees are said to have informed the chief secretary that it would be difficult for them to move unless these issues are settled. They also gave a representation to the finance minister Yanamala Ramakrihshnudu also.
They also expressed displeasure that the government took the decision on its own and thrusting it on employees.
Hence today’s clarification.
Chief Secretary I.Y.R. Krishna Rao. referring to his meeting with the Employees Unions (05.08.2015) yesterday, clarifed that the issue of moving offices to the New Capital City in phases or at One Go had not been decided.
He said, “the time frame and method of shifting will be decided involving them (Employees Unions).”
