Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday rushed to Delhi by a special flight to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon after the state Cabinet meeting held in Pragathi Bhavan.
The Cabinet meet chaired by Mr Rao unanimously approved the new zonal system in the state to ensure government jobs for locals.
The Cabinet also approved creation of seven zones and two multi-zones. Mr Rao will meet Mr Modi to seek the Centre’s approval for this new zonal system and the amendment to the Presidential Order of 1973 which it will require.
Mr Rao will brief the PM about the need to create new zones because the districts in Telangana state were increased from 10 to 31 in October 2016.
TRS MP B. Vinod Kumar said, “The CM will meet Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Monday and submit proposals on new zones and seek approval.”
