Honour promise, promote 140 T Tahsildars: Harish Rao to CM

Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao on Monday demanded that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy do justice to the 140 Tahsildars from Telangana region who had been overlooked and not promoted as Deputy Collectors despite having seniority in service.

Talking to media persons after submitting a memorandum to the Chief Minister at his Chamber in the Assembly premises, Harish Rao alleged that the Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy has once again cheated the Telangana employees by not honouring his promise made when soon after he was sworn in, three months ago.

The TRS leader pointed out that the Tahsildars, who had been working in Seemandhra regions were promoted as Deputy Collectors and then posted in Telangana region. This was a major injustice to local Tahsildars, Harish Rao alleged.

He appealed to the Chief Minister to look into this anomaly on an urgent basis and do justice.

Harish Rao also urged Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy to help the mango farmers who have been hit hard due to unseasonal rains and the flowering trees have been washed off. He said that the rains have destroyed hopes of any bumper mango crops, leaving the mango farmers facing financial problems.

The memorandum was submitted by Members affiliated to TDP, TRS, Congress and Left parties.
