More than 3,000 employees from Andhra Pradesh are set to participate in a massive protest at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, organized by the All-India State Government Employees’ Federation (AISGEF) on November 3. The primary demand of the protestors is the abolition of the New Pension Scheme and the reinstatement of the Old Pension Scheme. Additionally, they are calling for measures to fill vacant government positions, a ban on privatization, regularization of contract employees’ services, and the release of the pending 18 months’ DA withheld during the COVID-19 pandemic, among other demands. Employees from various districts are traveling to Delhi to voice their grievances.
