TELANGANA & AP AT LOGGERHEADS
Hyderabad: More than 11 years into state formation, many agreed decisions about the Andhra Pradesh division are also to be implemented. A significant high-level meeting occurred last December at the APIIC office in Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, under the leadership of then Telangana Chief Secretary Shanti Kumari and then Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar. The meeting, which extended for nearly two hours, reportedly produced favourable feedback on various issues. Notably, the two states came to an agreement regarding the distribution of labour cess amounting to Rs 861 crores. Additionally, Andhra Pradesh agreed to refund Rs 81 crores in excise dues that had been overpaid. However, the allocation of cess remains an outstanding issue. Officials from both states' departments suggested reconvening to finalise decisions related to employee exchanges and professional tax distributions, but this meeting has not yet occurred. Meanwhile, matters concerning the allocation of assets and liabilities of Schedule 9 and 10 institutions remain unresolved. The resolutions established by the ministers' committee will necessitate the endorsement of the chief ministers from both states. For matters that remain unresolved at the ministers' level, the chief ministers will have to directly engage in discussions to reach conclusions.
