Postpone all exams because of summer severity: Lok Satta

The Lok Satta Party today wanted the State Government to defer all examinations for students in view of the severity of summer which has witnessed hundreds of fatalities due to sunstroke.

In a media statement, Lok Satta Party State President Katari Srinivasa Rao also suggested that the Government declare a paid holiday to workers of Singareni Collieries’ open cast mines.

The Government, in association with NGOs, should launch a publicity campaign on safety measures to be taken and arrange for distribution of water, ORSs sachets. It should make special arrangements to extend free medical aid to sunstroke victims both in Government and private hospitals.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao asked the State and Central Governments to initiate a study into the unusual changes in climate in the recent past and their impact on agriculture and come up with a remedial action plan.

Don’t disturb contract lecturers, Lok Satta appeals to CM

Lok Satta Party State President Katari Srinivasa Rao has requested Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy not to disturb contract lecturers working in Government colleges even as it recruits new lecturers.

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Srinivasa Rao pointed out that the Government had appointed qualified people as contract lecturers in 820 junior and 250 degree colleges in the year 2000.

The lecturers are haunted by job insecurity as they are appointed on contract basis and have become ineligible to try for other jobs because of age.

While welcoming the Government move to recruit lecturers, Mr. Srinivasa Rao appealed to the Chief Minister to ensure that the contract lecturers already in service are not disturbed in the process.
