Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, has assured that Malka Komaraiah, the newly elected MLC for the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Teachers’ Constituency, will work towards addressing the concerns of teachers, retired employees, students, and unemployed youth.
Speaking at a victory rally in Karimnagar on Tuesday, Mr. Kumar stressed that Mr. Komaraiah would press the State government to resolve long-standing issues in the education sector. He urged authorities to clear pending dearness allowance (DA) dues and fill vacant positions for teachers, Mandal Education Officers (MEOs), and District Education Officers (DEOs).
Mr. Kumar also raised concerns about financial delays and demanded the release of ₹7,000 crore in pending fee reimbursement dues. Additionally, he warned the Congress-led State government against increasing the retirement age of employees, arguing that such a decision could lead to strong opposition from unemployed youth who are waiting for job opportunities.
He further emphasized the importance of timely payment of retirement benefits and urged the government to prioritize teachers’ welfare. He called for immediate action to address their concerns without further delay.
