The state government’s decision to enhance the retirement age of all government employees has not gone down well with the unemployed youth in the state who want the government to first fill vacancies in various departments.
The government has announced the enhancement of retirement age in government sector jobs from 58 years to 60 years.
Many students who TOI spoke to were disgruntled by the move as they demanded that the government should first fill vacancies and then raise retirement age. “By enhancing the retirement age, the government is further reducing the opportunities for youth who have been waiting for government job notifications in education, police and various other departments for many years,” said Manavatha Roy, chairman, Telangana Joint Action Committee of Unemployed Youth, that held a protest at Arts College, Osmania University, on Wednesday.
With nearly 26,000 government employees scheduled to retire in next three years, students say the move closes their opportunity to bag a government job.
