Hyderabad: As per Hyderabad High Court orders, both state governments Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will pay the salaries of 1,200 electricity employees in Telangana state within four weeks.

The division bench of the Hyderabad High Court has directed the both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh state governments to pay salaries of 1,200 electricity employees in Telangana state who were allocated to AP state after bifurcation.

As per Hyderabad High Court order, both governments should pay the salaries of over 1,200 employees within four weeks of time. The employees who were not getting salaries since April this  year will be paid as per ration prescribed under the state Reorganization Act i.e. 58:42.

The division bench is also directed that these 1,200 employees shall continue to work under Telangana Genco and TSSPDCL until final disposal of the case.
