  "account": "The APSRTC Employees’ Unions Joint Action Committee has announced that approximately 42,000 employees across the state will submit a memorandum with their signatures to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday. The memorandum addresses various issues concerning APSRTC employees, including the allocation of electric buses to private operators, an increase in the bus fleet, filling of vacant posts, and several other demands. The JAC conveners, along with co-conveners, stated that the statewide protest aims to bring the government's attention to their demands and to prevent the proposed plan of handing over e-bus operations to private operators, while addressing other long-pending issues.",
