Ministry of Power holds meets to discuss issues pertaining to bifurcation
Energy Secretary N. Srikant apprised Alok Kumar, Secretary of the Union Ministry of Power, of the dues from Telangana power utilities to Andhra Pradesh amounting to approximately ₹6,300 crore and the power procurement being made by A.P. from the exchanges to reduce the costs.
In a high-level meeting with the officials of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana utilities organised by the Union Ministry of Power in New Delhi on Monday to sort out the issues arising from the Andhra Pradesh State Reorganisation Act, 2014, Mr. Srikant said the Central government should help Andhra Pradesh recover the dues from Telangana utilities.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
