AP Govt constitutes GoM to review AP Reorganisation Act, Hyderabad Secretariat issues
The Andhra Pradesh government today constituted a Group of Ministers to look into issues regarding AP Reorganisation Act, 2014, and also the Telangana government’s request for handing over of blocks in the Secretariat at Hyderabad currently under the state’s possession.
Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh government today constituted a Group of Ministers to look into issues regarding AP Reorganisation Act, 2014, and also the Telangana government’s request for handing over of blocks in the Secretariat at Hyderabad currently under the state’s possession.
The GoM was constituted in accordance with the decision taken by Andhra Pradesh Cabinet at its meeting late last month.
Deputy Chief Minister (Revenue), Deputy CM (Home), ministers for Finance, Health and Labour will be members of the GoM, an order issued by Chief Secretary Satya Prakash Tucker said.
The GoM would submit its recommendations to the Cabinet as and when issues are discussed and finalised.
The AP government had recently vacated the five blocks in the Secretariat at Hyderabad after the government departments were relocated to the state transitional headquarters at Velagapudi in Amaravati capital region.
The Telangana government, as part of its plan to demolish the Secretariat complex in Hyderabad, requested the AP government through the Governor that the blocks in its possession be handed over to the former.
Andhra Pradesh, however, is not ready to concede the request immediately as several other contentious issues, including the division of institutions listed in Schedules 9 and 10 of the Reorganisation Act, have to be resolved.
Accordingly, the Cabinet decided to constitute a Group of Ministers to look into all such pending issues and work out a solution.
