Hyderabad: The shifting of AP offices from Hyderabad to Amaravati has sparked a row between TS and AP employees. AP employees working in various welfare departments located in Sankshema Bhavan at Masab Tank left for Amaravati in buses on Thursday.
While they were boarding the buses carrying bundles of files, the TS employees objected saying that they cannot take the files from offices without their knowledge.
They argued that several files belong to both TS and AP and contain important details with regard to implementation of various welfare schemes for students, BCs, SCs and STs, the budget allotted for various schemes and amount spent over the years.
TS employees argued that AP staff should take photocopies and the original files should be retained in TS. They obstructed the AP staff from boarding the buses, saying that the files should be shown to them and left behind if they pertain to TS.
This led to heated arguments between employees of TS and AP. As the situation turned volatile, police rushed to the spot to bring matters under control. Normalcy was restored only after AP staff agreed to share the information of files with TS staff.
“The files contain crucial information of lakhs of students pertaining to fee reimbursement and scholarships. There are several students from AP, who took admissions in Hyderabad. TS needs details over whom to extend the benefit or whom to not,” said a TS employee.
