“However, due to the pandemic, the committee couldn’t discuss the matter in a full-fledged manner. The contract employees’ agreement tenure ends in March 2022. So till then there will be no problems for them,” he said assured the lecturers of taking the matter to the notice of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
