Unemployment grew by four times in TS: Sharmila

Local Congress legislator expresses solidarity

YSR Telangana Party founder Y.S. Sharmila demanded the government to direct the estimated 54 lakh unemployed youth in the State towards jobs, in addition to immediately launching the unemployment allowance scheme that was first proposed at the 2018 TRS poll campaign. Citing figures, she said Telangana is at the peak with regard to unemployment in the country and observed that joblessness grew by four times in the past seven years under the ruling TRS government. Sitting in the day-long hunger strike, Nirudyogula Koraku Nirahara Deeksha, at Pullemla village of Chandur in the district, as part of her weekly hunger strikes on Tuesdays, she demanded the government for release of notifications for job vacancies and measures to provide up to three lakh jobs in the private sector.
