Amaravati, Feb 2 Police in Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday started detaining leaders of the government employees and teachers' unions to foil 'Chalo Vijayawada' called by PRC Sadhana Samiti on Thursday.Citing the denial of permission for the protest program in view of Covid-19 pandemic situation, the police detained leaders of various unions of government employees and teachers in various districts.The leaders were either placed under house arrest or summoned to police stations to serve notices, directing them not to leave for Vijayawada for the protest. They were being told that if they go ahead with the protest, action will be taken against them as per law.In some places leaders and members of the unions were stopped from proceeding towards Vijayawada.Reports of detentions were pouring in from Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Nellore, Anantapur and other districts.Police have also set up check posts on the highway near Tuni in East Godavari district to check the vehicles to stop employees heading for Vijayawada.Vijayawada Police Commissioner Kanti Rana Tata said there was no permission for 'Chalo Vijayawada'. He said the police received an application for permission but they denied the same as a huge congregation can't be allowed in view of the pandemic situation.The police commissioner said such a congregation could lead to further spread of the pandemic. As per the guidelines issued by the central and state governments, any programme with a gathering of more than 200 should not be allowed. The commissioner said since over 5,000 employees are likely to participate in 'Chalo Vijayawada' permission was not given for the same.The police official said the section 30 of the Police Act and section 144 of CrPC are in force in Vijayawada and gathering of more than five persons will be a violation of law.Meanwhile, state level leaders of the unions made it clear that they will go ahead with 'Chalo Vijayawada' despite arrests, detentions and other measures by the government to foil their programme.Demanding scrapping of a Government Order (GO) fixing new pay scales as per pay revision announced last month, the unions have been staging protests for the last couple of weeks. Alleging that implementation of new pay scale will result in downward revision in their salaries, the employees are demanding that they be paid salaries as per the interim relief which was higher than 23 per cent pay revision announced last monthPRC Sadhana Samiti, the joint action committee of all employees' associations has already announced that employees will go on strike from February 7 in support of their demands.As part of the protest programme chalked out by the unions, the employees will stop running and maintaining various government apps from Wednesday. The unions have also called for setting afire their pay slips and copies of PRC GO.The talks between the employees' unions and the ministerial committee on Tuesday failed to end the deadlock as the government panel rejected the demands for rollback of GO and for providing a copy of Pay Revision Commission.The ministerial committee has also appealed to employees to call off the 'aChalo Vijayawada' programme and the strike.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
