Kurnool: The leaders of Federation of Andhra Pradesh Teachers Organisations (FAPTO) on Tuesday staged a protest at Dharna Chowk demanding the government to immediately implement Pay Revision Commission (PRC) and sanction pending Dearness Allowance besides suspension of Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS).

Even the execution of 11th Pay Revision Commission (PRC) was also pending, he said and demanded the government to execute PRC, suspension of CPS and sanctioning of 5 Dearness Allowances (DAs).
State observer H Thimanna said the government has planned to merge 3rd, 4th and 5th class employees in high school under the New Education Policy (NEP).
