Health cards sought for municipal school teachers

A.P. United Teachers Federation members took out a rally from the Zilla Parishad office to Kadapa Collectorate on Thursday seeking extension of Employees Healthcare Fund scheme to aided and municipal teachers.

The government issued G.O.s 184 and 186 granting cashless health cards to employees, teachers and pensioners but it did not cover aided and municipal teachers, APUTF district general secretary B. Lakshmi Raja said. He warned of an agitation if the demands were not met.

APUTF leaders Subba Reddy, Ganganna, Gangi Reddy, Mastan Basha, Sankar and others participated in the protest rally.
