The Telangana State Commission for Backward Classes held a detailed review meeting on Thursday at its office to discuss key issues, with a special focus on the collection of employee data from various departments under the state government.
The Commission noted that several departments had not submitted their caste-wise data within the prescribed timeline and resolved to conduct review meetings with the respective department secretaries shortly.
The meeting also reviewed preparations for the scheduled public hearings on June 9, 10, and 11 regarding the 26 castes that were delisted from the state OBC list.

The Commission further resolved to urge the Central Government to expedite the inclusion of forty new communities into the national OBC list.
