Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Saturday announced plans to introduce legislation under which government employees who neglect their parents could face a salary deduction of 10 to 15 per cent, to be transferred directly to the neglected parents.
Addressing a gathering while handing over appointment letters to newly selected Group-II employees, Reddy urged them to show compassion toward citizens seeking assistance.
“We are bringing a law. If a government employee neglects his or her parents, 10 to 15 per cent of their salary will be deducted and deposited into the parents' bank account. You will be the ones to draft this legislation. Just as you receive a monthly salary, we will ensure that your parents also receive a regular income from it,” he said.
Reddy instructed Chief Secretary Ramakrishna Rao to form a committee of officials to draft the proposed legislation.
