Chandrasekhar Rao’s directions, the power sector officials would prepare guidelines for regularisation of outsoured staff working in Genco, Transco and Discoms in Telangana. Mr Padma Reddy had said the JAC was withdrawing the strike as the government had agreed to give in writing that the services of outsourced staff would be regularised.
