Andhra Social Welfare Minister Assures Resolution of APSRTC Employees Issues

**Ongole – Minister of Social Welfare Addresses APSRTC Workers’ Concerns**

Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy, the Minister of Social Welfare, recently engaged with workers from the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) in Ongole. During the meeting, he assured the workers that the government is actively addressing their concerns regarding pending dearness allowance (DA) dues and the workload issues faced by the Stree Shakti program participants.

The pending dearness allowance has been a point of contention for APSRTC employees, many of whom have expressed their grievances regarding delays in payments that could impact their livelihoods. The Stree Shakti program, aimed at empowering women through various initiatives, has also come under scrutiny as participants face increased workloads without adequate support.

Minister Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy emphasized the governments commitment to resolve these issues promptly, stating that discussions were underway to ensure timely payments and to review the operational demands on Stree Shakti participants. It is anticipated that these steps will enhance the working conditions for APSRTC employees and support the objectives of the Stree Shakti initiative.

The government has historically prioritized the welfare of workers in the transport sector and women empowerment programs, recognizing their critical roles in the economy and society. Further updates on the resolutions regarding the DA dues and workload concerns are expected in the coming weeks as the government seeks to facilitate a positive working environment for all stakeholders involved.
