Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Friday cautioned that indiscriminate spending on freebies and encouraging a culture in which people expected sops from the government could pose a serious threat to the state's financial stability and the country's future. The court observed that the governments were increasingly being compelled to sell public land because ordinary revenue was proving insufficient to meet expenditure. Pay Minimum Wages to Police Station Contingent Staff: Telangana High Court to StateThe Telangana High Court has directed the state government to pay minimum wages to sweepers, attenders and other contingent workers working in police stations and police establishments. They argued that the Telangana High Court had earlier granted similar relief in a batch of writ petitions, which was subsequently affirmed by the Supreme Court. Government counsel further contended that extending minimum wages involved policy and financial considerations fell within the executive domain.
