The fifth State-level conference of Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) Staff Federation held here on Sunday has urged the State Government to declare the corporation as a full fledged government department.
The conference expressed deep concern over Regional Transport Officers holding back the driving licences of TNSTC drivers, whose vehicles meet with road accidents, for months together thereby making them ineligible to perform their regular work. It also wanted the government to set right anomalies such as delay in settling statutory dues such as Provident Fund, gratuity, leave salary and Dearness Allowance arrears to retired employees.
There was also delay in payment of monthly salary in some cases, it pointed out.
The conference was presided over by State president S. Shajahan.
Treasurer S. Sampath proposed the resolutions and founder president G. Venkataraman declared it open.
