A meeting between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to resolve the stalemate over the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh Bhavan in New Delhi has ended inconclusively.
The Union Home Ministry convened the meeting on Monday which was attended by Telangana Finance and State Reorganisation Affairs special chief secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao and his A.P. counterpart S.S. Rawat along with the resident commissioners of the two States. Home Ministry’s senior officials from the CS (Centre-State) division and estates division were present at the meeting.
Deliberations during the 40-minute meeting were said to be focussed on encroachments on 0.512 acres particularly abutting the internal road in AP Bhavan complex. The two States recently deliberated upon a new option proposed by the Telangana government for sharing the assets of AP Bhavan, spread over 19.7 acres estimated to value ₹9,908 crore.
