Telangana State Legislature Assembly has reconsidered and passed four Bills again which were returned by the State Governor earlier. The Bills were introduced and passed by the Assembly with a voice vote after Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy made an announcement last night.

The Bills which were passed are the Telangana Municipal Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2022, the Telangana Public Employment (Regulation of Age of Superannuation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022, the Telangana State Private Universities (Establishment and Regulation) (Amendment) Bill, 2022, and the Telangana Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill, 2023. The Bills were moved by the concerned State Ministers for reconsideration after which they were passed.

Meanwhile, State Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan has sought clarifications from the State government on a draft Bill meant for the absorption of State Road Transport Corporation employees into government service.

Amid concerns expressed by the TSRTC staff that the Bill should be passed in the ongoing Assembly session, she assured them of safeguarding their interests. The Raj Bhavan in a communique said it received the draft Bill on the 2nd of August, and the Governor needed some more time to examine it.

On the other hand, a section of RTC employees held a strike for a couple of hours yesterday and took out a demonstration at the Raj Bhavan demanding the Governor permit the State government to introduce the Bill in the Assembly.

Subsequently, the Governor, who was out of the station, invited representatives of the employees to Raj Bhavan and addressed the employees’ Joint Action Committee of TSRTC and representatives of Telangana Mazdoor Union virtually. She expressed her sympathy and concern over the future of over 43 thousand employees.
