Endless disputes between AP and TS

It seems there is no end or solution to the disputes between the AP and Telangana states. The High Court has dismissed the G.O. issued by the Telangana state government that orders for relieving of 1200 employees of Andhra origin from Transco. The High Court served notices to the Telangana state government on Tuesday in response to a contempt of court petition against Telangana Power Generation Corporation and the Telangana state Southern Power Distribution Company Ltd for non-implementation of court orders in respect to distribution of employees.

Even while this issue is pending with the High Court, the Telangana state government has made another such move again yesterday. It replaced 35 officials of Andhra origin from commercial tax department with the Telangana native officials. Twenty seven CTOs (Commercial Tax Officers), 6 Assistant officers and 2 Deputy Commissioners were among the relieved. However, the Andhra Pradesh state government may not agree to take them into its service as it did in the case of 1200 employees of Telangana Transco earlier. If so, the Revenue officials who were relieved from their duties also may knock the High Court doors and the same situation may repeats again soon.

The Telangana state government which is claiming ownership rights on all the institutions that fall under schedule 10 of the AP Reorganization Bill has ordered the concerned chief secretaries to replace all the employees of Andhra origin with Telangana natives. So, it appears a severe crisis is ahead. These problems can’t be resolved unless the Centre takes initiative as the High Court may not be able to dedicate its precious time to resolve these ever ending problems.
