Chief Minister Revanth Reddy discusses state issues with Governor, clears pending files, assists citizens returning from border areas.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Governor Jishnu Dev Varma on Monday morning and discussed with him various issues concerning the State in the backdrop of the Indo-Pak conflict and how the State was on alert to deal with any situation.
The Chief Minister is said to have requested the Governor to clear the file related to the appointment of the Information Commissioners that was pending at Raj Bhavan for the last few days. Interestingly, a few hours after the CM’s meeting orders were given appointing four Information Commissioners.
It was rumoured earlier that the Governor kept the files pending as some of the suggested names had a political background and their names could not be cleared. The CM is said to have convinced that those who were picked had journalistic experience and their work was also related to media and nothing political. Minister for Industries D Sridhar Babu too accompanied the Chief Minister.
Mr. Reddy also informed the Governor on the steps taken by the government to provide comprehensive relief and support to citizens returning from border areas through the Telangana Bhawan in New Delhi. Telugu students and others wanted to come back home temporarily due to the tense situation on the borders.
The government made arrangements at the Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi and later they were shifted to their respective places in Telangana. As of now, a total of 162 persons arrived at Telangana Bhawan, including 56 individuals from various institutions in Jammu & Kashmir and 106 from Punjab, according to government officials in New Delhi.
Out of these, 130 persons have already left for their respective hometowns after receiving necessary assistance. The remaining individuals are being accommodated at Telangana Bhawan and will leave in due course, Resident Commissioner Gaurav Uppal said after reviewing the arrangements and interacting with the students.
During the interaction, many students conveyed that their institutions were asking them to return to campus as the situation in border areas was showing signs of improvement. However, a majority of them expressed the desire to visit their homes first and return to their institutions once the situation fully stabilizes.
