The Finance Minister further explained that over 3000 vacancies in RTC were filled up and so also 4500 posts in Singareni collieries were filled up. The Telangana Government had in fact created over 16000 new posts within 20 months besides regularizing contract employees and also ensuring a minimum salary of Rs.15000 to the out sourcing employees.
The state government was committed to its promise of providing employment to the unemployed by filling up the vacancies within in one month, he added.
