Here is a complete contrast situation that occurred on the same day in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Ironically, when Telangana government hiked the salaries of employees, the Andhra Pradesh government will hike electricity charges of the people as discums submitted a report of power tariffs.
Going by the reports, KCR has announced 43% fitment to the Telangana employees. The implementation of new PRC comes into force from June 2, 2014. Arrears are adjusted to GPF accounts of the employees. PRC benefits in cash will be paid from March, 2015. The T employees turned jubilant hearing this good news. On the other hand, the TDP government threw a bomb on people hiking the tariffs of electricity bills. Discums submitted proposed hike of power tariffs to the government today and are likely to be implemented soon. The hike on every unit will be 25 paise. Rs.1.45 will be charged for units ranging between 0-50, and it would be a maximum of Rs.8.88 for every unit if the slab crosses the mark of 500 units.
