Licensed surveyors, RTC JAC leaders meet BRS leaders on their issues

HYDERABAD

A delegation of the licensed surveyors represented their problem of inordinate delay in taking a decision on the allotment of work and on their pay by the government to working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao on Thursday and requested him to bring pressure on the government to resolve their issue.

The delegation expressed concern over non-allotment of work even months after their appointment. Over 5,000 licensed surveyors were also awaiting the government decision on their pay fixation. The delay in decision-making by the government is worry us, they said.

Speaking to the surveyors, Mr. Rama Rao said the government was doing injustice to the licensed surveyors selected after bringing Bhu Bharathi in place of Dharani. The Karnataka government had made arrangements ensuring respectable remuneration to the licensed surveyors, but in Telangana, the Congress government was doing injustice.

The licensed surveyors submitted a memorandum to Mr. Rama Rao and explained that they were being asked to turn up at the tahsildar (MRO) offices in the morning and made to sit idle till evening every day without giving them any work. They attributed the problems to lack of clear policy/guidelines on the allotment of work to them.

Mr. Rama Rao stressed the need for allotment of work to every licensed surveyor transparently.

Speaking to the delegation Mr. Harish Rao alleged that the government was conspiring to privatise the RTC in the garb of introducing electric buses and demanded that the government immediately clear ₹2,804 crore dues to the RTC under the Mahalakshmi scheme.

He blamed the government for extending subsidies only to the corporate companies at the cost of RTC by handing over the supply/manufacturing of over 2,000 electric buses in the name of pollution control to the private companies. He demanded that the State government ensure the Centre’s subsidy was extended to RTC and allow it purchase electric buses directly from the manufacturers.
