HYDERABAD: Telangana Joint Action Committee of Employees, Teachers and Workers has decided to serve a notice to the state government on Thursday indicating that they would go on an indefinite strike after August 1 if the Centre does not announce its decision on formation of Telangana state.The TJAC leadership directed TNGOs and teacher's unions to hand over the notice to the chief secretary.The decision was taken at the TJAC (employees) meeting held under the chairmanship of their president K Swami Goud at TNGOs office here on Wednesday. The TJAC leadership claimed that 86 unions supported their protest programme.The Singareni and APSRTC unions would also take part in general strikes apart from several private employees and workers. Emergency service workers would be exempted from the general strike."We will wait till August 1. If the government does not respond properly, we will start the general strike," TJAC (employees) said.Speaking to reporters, Swami Goud said that the state government did not fulfil even a single promise made in the past. Assurances were given when the non-cooperation movement was held a few months ago, but none of them were fulfilled, he said and added that the clause 14 (f) issue was an example of the state government's negligence.
