Good News For Singareni Workers

Hyderabad, Aug 23: The Telangana government today announced a 27 per cent share in the profit of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) to its employees for 2017-18.

The Chief Minister directed the SCCL Chairman and Managing Director that the employees and workers should be entitled for an enhanced profit share of 27 per cent as against 25 per cent given last year.

He also said that the Performance Related Pay (PRP), which has been due for the last 8 years to Singareni officers, should also be paid immediately. He assured the Singareni Company officers that the government would allot land to them in Hyderabad for housing.

Announcing several sops for the officers, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao said the government would also allot land in Hyderabad for construction of houses and would extend 10 lakh interest free loan facility to officers and other employees for house construction on par with Singareni workers.

He suggested that hereafter the Singareni workers should be addressed as employees without discriminating them from other staff. The approach of separating management and workers as two different entities should be done away forthwith and all should be treated as one single family of Singareni.
