The Andhra Pradesh Joint Action Committee (AP JAC) Amaravati initially threatened fresh agitations starting after August 15, 2026, if the state government failed to address long-standing financial and service issues. Key demands included the appointment of a Pay Revision Commission chairman, the release of five pending Dearness Allowances (DA), the settlement of arrears, and the restoration of additional pension benefits.

Following assurances from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the committee decided to temporarily defer its planned protests. The government implemented several concessions, including the appointment of a Pay Revision Commission Commissioner, the release of two DA installments, the restoration of additional pensions, and the facilitation of Employee Health Cards. 

However, some representatives expressed continued dissatisfaction regarding the lack of an announcement on Interim Relief (IR) and the absence of a clear roadmap for paying accumulated arrears. The committee has opted to monitor the implementation of these recent assurances before deciding whether to resume protests.
