TNGO General Secretary Dr S M Hussaini, also known as Mujeeb, expressed confidence that more progress would follow. He said official meetings with the Chief Minister are expected soon. According to him, these meetings could help address other pending employee grievances. He stressed that the association remains hopeful that issues affecting government staff will be resolved through dialogue.
At the district level, Hyderabad District President S Vikram Kumar and the District Secretary also welcomed the TNGO DA hike. They described it as a major relief, especially for field level employees who face daily work pressures. They said the decision would ease financial stress and help employees focus better on their duties.
