HYDERABAD: Amid a battle of wits over the Centre’s proposal to amend All India Services (AIS) cadre rules on deputation, many AIS officers in Telangana feel that there was no love lost between the state and central governments as far as IAS officers are concerned and the fight is mainly on having ‘total control’ over the officers.
On its part, the Centre said that it was facing severe crunch of senior officers to work at the government of India level and was compelled to go for amendment, the Telangana government retorted saying several states were also facing shortage of IAS officers.
