Hyderabad:The Telangana Progressive Teachers Federation (TPTF) urged the state government on July 31 to resolve long-pending demands rather than attempting to appease educators solely through free breakfast and lunch. Speaking on the initiative, TPTF State Additional General Secretary M Ravindar stated that while teachers welcome the complimentary meals, the scheme indicates the government is not facing a financial deficit. The federation highlighted a series of critical pending issues, including surrender leave salaries, leave salary arrears, TSGLI maturity benefits, GPF part finals, GPF loans, DA arrears, medical reimbursement bills, six DAs, the Pay Revision Commission implementation from July 1, 2023, and functional health cards. TPTF emphasized that if the government truly intends to make teachers happy, it must address these pressing financial and administrative grievances promptly. The federation urged immediate intervention to clear all pending dues to ensure long-term welfare.
