TGSRTC JAC Holds Gate Meeting in Khammam to Mobilize for Upcoming State-wide Strike

The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) Joint Action Committee (JAC) organized a gate meeting in front of the bus depot in Khammam on Friday, April 18, 2026. This gathering served as a preparatory step for a planned state-wide strike scheduled to begin on April 22. During the event, local JAC leaders distributed pamphlets detailing the upcoming strike to workers and addressed the crowd to ensure its success. Prominent leaders, including P. Appa Rao, L.R.K. Rao, Kotaiah, and B. Buchhibabu, spoke at the meeting. The JAC is mobilizing support to press for a 31-point charter of demands. Key issues include the merger of TGSRTC with the state government, the implementation of the Pay Revision Commission (PRC), the removal of restrictions imposed on trade unions, and the conduct of recognized trade union elections. The strike aims to exert pressure on authorities to address these longstanding grievances regarding employment conditions and organizational status within the public transport sector across Telangana.
