The meeting of Chief Ministers seems to have come out with a positive outcome for Telangana.
Sources said that Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari listed out eight issues which can be sorted out at the officer level. Then Deputy CM Bhatti suggested setting up an officials committee to which Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu gave his nod and reportedly said, “Okay agreed, that is the way.”
The CS of AP also acknowledged the issues. The solution to it is likely to be achieved in a week. Sources indicated that there is some money pending as part of labour cess which is just lying in the bank which someone can use. Both states agreed to it.
It is learnt that Revanth spoke on drugs and the initiatives to curb them in schools, pubs etc. Both states exchanged agenda items which include re-transfer of five villages, TTD recommendation etc.
Among the issues listed, Andhra Pradesh is likely to positively respond to Telangana’s request to re-transfer the five villages of Pichukalapadu, Kannaigudem, Yetapaka, Gundala and Purushothapatnam which were merged with Andhra Pradesh under the AP Reorganisation (Amendment) Act in 2014.
The officials’ committee will study and recommend it. The five villages that were earlier in Khammam district were incorporated into Andhra Pradesh due to the transfer of seven revenue blocks to Andhra Pradesh.
ources said that a letter will be sent to the Union Home Ministry requesting to transfer it back. Then an ordinance would be introduced in Parliament.
In good news to the Tirumala devotees of Telangana, the recommendation letters issued by Telangana public representatives may be accepted. Sources said the issue was listed and there might be a positive response.
Another request placed by Andhra Pradesh is for a CM camp office in Hyderabad which could be used whenever they visit.
