Shifting of employees between TS, A.P. picks pace

Govts issue no objection for taking employees willing to come on permanent basis

The process for transfer of employees allocated to both the Telugu States post bifurcation to their native States is gaining momentum yet again with the two governments giving their consent to take back employees willing to come back on a permanent basis.

After the Telangana government conveyed its no objection for sending back employees of A.P. origin on a permanent basis, the Andhra Pradesh government has started the exercise of collecting information with respect to employees allotted/deemed allotted to A.P. but are interested in exercising the option to go to Telangana on a permanent basis. The A.P. government reciprocated with the issue of releasing a circular asking the employees willing to go to TS to submit their options. The HoD concerned should forward the options duly verifying and certifying the information furnished by the employees.

The TS government had fixed October 15 as deadline for employees willing to go to the neighbouring State to submit their applications in prescribed format to the heads of the departments concerned while the A.P. government had set November 7 as deadline for staff willing to shift to TS on permanent basis. TS officials said the State’s offer to employees willing to shift to A.P. was unconditional but for ensuring that there are no cases or disciplinary action pending against them.
