Employees of Swarna Gramam and Swarna Ward Sachivalayams plan to gather in Vijayawada on September 27 over unpaid wages, promotion concerns and demands for two notional increments. Police say no permission has been granted because of heavy rain and Ganesh Nimajjanam, warning that violators may face action.

Employees of the Swarna Gramam and Swarna Ward Sachivalayams plan to hold a protest in Vijayawada on Sunday, September 27, seeking action on several service-related grievances. The employees have called the demonstration “Chalo Vijayawada”. They intend to assemble on BRTS Road and stage a protest at Dharna Chowk, according to the report.

Their demands include two notional increments, payment of pending wages and a permanent promotional structure. They also allege that they have been treated unfairly in matters concerning promotions and other benefits. Police authorities said the proposed protest had not been granted permission.

Krishna district Superintendent of Police V. Vidyasagar Naidu warned that stern action would be taken against anyone violating Section 30 of the Police Act. Deputy Commissioner of Police G.

Ramakrishna said permission had not been granted for protests or rallies on Sunday because of heavy rains and Ganesh Nimajjanam. The police warnings introduce the possibility of enforcement action if the employees proceed with the gathering. The report does not state whether the organisers have sought an alternative date or venue.

The employees’ call reflects an effort to press the authorities over wages, career progression and other employment benefits. Police, however, have cited public-order and weather-related concerns in refusing permission for the planned event.
