Hyderabad: The Telangana state government on Wednesday, September 9, initiated talks with representatives from the Telangana Employees’ Joint Action Committee (JAC) and various employee associations, agreeing to expedite the Pay Revision Commission (PRC) report and form an expert panel to address Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) concerns.

The Chief Secretary sent a letter to the PRC Chairman, requesting that the report be completed and submitted urgently. A committee comprising PRC experts, state officers, and union members will be formed to study issues related to the CPS.
