Khammam: The transfer of employees and teachers working in seven mandals that have been transferred to Andhra Pradesh is now creating a furore. The affected people have been urging the Telangana government to get them back to Khammam district.
They have been pleading that their case should be handed over to the Kamalanathan Committee as a special case. The transfer of these employees is a gigantic task that is possible only when the Telangana and AP states come together and solve the problem in co-ordination.
Approximately 850 employees including teachers are working in these mandals and all of them are natives of Telangana. The status of their state has been changed after the amendment bill to the AP Re-organisation Act, 2014 was passed in Parliament.
K. Sankara Rao, a teacher working in V. R. Puram said that ninety percent of the employees belonged to Khammam and Warangal districts and it is the duty of TRS government to get them back. He said that Telangana government should ask the Andhra Pradesh government to place AP staff in their place to pave a way for their transfer.
N. Anand, a health worker in Veleirpad mandal headquarters said, “The Centre transferred the geographical area into Andhra Pradesh, but technically, we (employees) should not be transferred to the state.” He said that it is the duty of the T-government to get them back and place them in their native state. He said that the roots of a majority of employees are in Warangal, Khammam and Nalgonda districts.
