Hyderabad: Bifurcation of employees between TS and AP led to a furore in the Secretariat again on Wednesday. The Kamalnathan committee had to call off its meeting here abruptly after TS staff opposed allocation of AP-native staff to TS and raised slogans against the panel.
AP employees countered with slogans of their own, leading to tension in the premises. The committee had met to take up bifurcation of staff in medical and public health departments besides division of section and assistant section officers in the Secretariat. TS staff strongly opposed allotment of 84 AP native staff to TS and demanded they should be re-allotted to Telangana.
They pointed out that though about 35 AP-native staff gave the option to work for AP, they were allotted to TS on the ground that there were vacancies in TS. With situation turning volatile, the committee called off meeting abruptly.
