The State government issued orders promoting Anurag Sharma, Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, to the rank of Director General of Police. He will continue to work as the Commissioner of Police Hyderabad and will probably be the last of the police officers to be promoted as DGP along with other IAS and IPS officers , K.R.M. Kishore Kumar -Additional Director, APPA, who has been promoted as Special Director, APPA in the rank of Additional DGP and 2 IAS officers Lingaraj Panigrahi and K. Pradeep Chandra.

With the bifurcation and the State reorganization in place the other major division to happen is the allocation and distribution of the All India Services cadres for Telanagana and rest of Andhra ,which include the IAS (administrative) ,IPS (police )and IFos ( forest ) services which  will be reorganized by a 5 member committee headed  by former Central vigilance Commissioner (CVC) Pratyush Sinha.  The term of the committee is for 3 weeks and based on the requirements, the committee will recommend the appropriate allocation / distribution of these civil servants. There are a total of 284 IAS officers, 209 IPS and 136 IFoS officers working in Unified Andhra Pradesh.

The other aspect is to consider is  the status of the conferred IAS and IPS officers and also the willingness of these officials to move into either Telangana or rest of AP as they might find the prospects of living in Hyderabad a much better proposition. We will have to wait for three weeks and see the outcome.
