Members of various RTC unions and employees in Hyderabad staged a protest at the Raj Bhavan, demanding that Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan give her assent to the draft Bill of TSRTC (Absorption of employees into Government Service, 2023). The RTC worker unions had announced a two-hour protest across the State in response to the Governor’s delay in approving the RTC draft Bill.
As part of their protest, some RTC employees gathered at PV Marg on the Necklace Road and planned to stage a protest at the Raj Bhavan. However, the police stopped them from laying a siege to the Raj Bhavan. The Governor was not present at the time of the protest, so the Raj Bhavan staff allowed the RTC union leaders to speak with Tamilisai through video conference.
During the video conference, Tamilisai explained that the approval of the draft Bill has been delayed due to legal issues that need to be examined before a decision can be made.
