The Central Government has favoured settlement of dispute in cash credit pertaining to the civil supplies corporations of the two Telugu States – Telangana and Andhra Pradesh – first. The subsidy portion may be resolved later.
Union Home Ministry joint secretary Ashish Kumar said that the settlement of the two issues could be done parallelly but without linking them together, otherwise the whole thing could get stuck and the interest would keep piling up.
The Home Ministry official was speaking at the joint meeting of the Chief Secretaries of the two States convened recently through video-conference.
