The State government is gearing up to present a strong case in support of its demand for implementation of the assurances given as part of the State bifurcation in the upcoming meeting of the standing committee of the Southern Zonal Council slated in Chennai on May 5.
The Inter-State Council Secretariat of the Union Home Ministry, in its letter, has asked the participants, including Telangana, to update the status of the decisions taken in the last meeting held at Thiruvananthapuram. They have been asked to furnish new items, if any, pertaining to the respective States to be placed before the standing committee for deliberations.
Accordingly, the State has sponsored some of the major issues which are placed in the agenda of the 13th meeting of the Standing Committee. These issues include establishment of integrated steel plant at Bayyaram in Khammam district, inter-State river water sharing and conferment of national project status to Kaleshwaram multi-purpose project.
