Srinivasa Rao said all the employees know about APGEA and how it got its permission. Its president Suryanarayana got the government job on compassionate grounds as sought by the AP NGO Association.”
Rao said he would ask the state chief secretary to revoke the recognition of the APGEA chaired by Suryanarayana as it violated rules and addressed issues with the governor.

He said a memorandum was given to the CM to appoint a committee for the 12th PRC. “We also brought up various issues like the pending DA from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2021. Besides the arrears of 11th PRC and GPF, APGLI loans, a revision of the retirement age for public sector and university non-teaching employees from 60 to 62 was sought, he said.
