Amaravathi sources have made a statement that the staff of the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat staged a protest at Tadikonda road, on Monday, protesting against the inefficient bus services from Guntur to their workplace in Velagapudi.
According to sources the protesters stated that the bus service from Guntur to velagapudi was supposed to be non-stop route. However, the RTC staff are halting the bus at every stop en-route thereby delaying their arrival at the Secretariat, they said. Moreover the staff said "Since bio-metric attendance system is in place at the Secretariat any delay in reaching their workplace impacts their attendance".
Moreover the matter has been reported to the RTC's regional manager and he
has directed the staff to run the buses without any midway halts but apparently
the RTC staff did not mend their ways. Further the Secretariat staff is
refraining from work in protest against the pathetic bus services.
