APJAC Amaravati set to finalise agitation roadmap on June 23

The Andhra Pradesh Joint Action Committee (APJAC) Amaravati will hold a crucial meeting on June 23 to discuss and finalise its future course of action on the long-pending financial and service-related issues of State government employees.

The emergency meeting is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at Revenue Bhavan in Vijayawada. State presidents and general secretaries of various departmental employee associations affiliated with APJAC Amaravati will attend.

In a statement issued on Sunday, APJAC Amaravati chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu, secretary-general Palisetti Damodara Rao, Agitation Action Committee chairman T. V. Phani Perraju, and treasurer Thimmasarthi Nageswara Rao said the meeting was being convened to prepare employees across the State for a sustained movement to secure the resolution of their long-pending demands.

The leaders recalled that the APJAC Amaravati State Executive Committee, which met in Vijayawada on June 7 with representatives from all 28 districts, had resolved to launch an organised agitation to press for the settlement of employees’ financial issues and other pending demands.

As part of the follow-up exercise, departmental associations have been asked to hold State-level executive committee meetings and mobilise district and divisional leadership. The June 23 meeting will review feedback from employees, assess preparedness for the proposed agitation, and chalk out the organisation’s future strategy.

The leaders said APJAC Amaravati units in all 28 districts had already launched extensive awareness and mobilisation programmes. These included district-level executive meetings, press conferences, and installation of banners highlighting employees’ demands at Collectorates, employees’ association buildings, and other major government offices.

District leaders and women’s committees have also been visiting government offices to explain employees’ grievances and submitting representations to Ministers in their respective districts, seeking intervention on key demands.

Employee circles expect the June 23 meeting to take important decisions on the next phase of the agitation programme aimed at securing a resolution of long-pending issues affecting government employees in Andhra Pradesh.
