Chief Secretaries of the Telugu States to deal with pending matters as per Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act
The Union Home Secretary has convened a meeting of Chief Secretaries of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh through video conferencing on April 6 to discuss pending bilateral issues between the two States as per Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. In preparation for the meeting, Principal Finance Secretary of Telangana K. Ramakrishna Rao on Thursday discussed the status of the issues with heads of several departments. Sources said the issues concerned finalisation of allocation of Deputy Superintendents of Police (Civil), Additional Superintendents of Police (Civil) and Superintendents of Police (Non-cadre) between the two States. Apportionment of assets and liabilities of government corporations, institutes and companies listed in Schedule IX of the Act was another contentious issue between the two States as they had different views on the division. While Andhra Pradesh insisted that the division of assets and employees should be based on population ratio of 58:42 in accordance with the Act, Telangana government maintained that employees be divided based on where they belong.
