A key meeting was held by the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the pending issues related to the bifurcation of united Andhra Pradesh. The meeting took place in New Delhi, with the Chief Secretaries (CS) of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, along with other senior officials, in attendance. Despite the state bifurcation in 2014, several important issues remain unresolved.

During this meeting, discussions were held on various pending issues between the two states. Key concerns, such as the division of institutions, distribution of assets, distribution of employees, electricity arrears, and fund allocation, were discussed. It was reported that there were detailed talks between the officials of both states on these bifurcation matters.

Discussions also took place regarding the funds that the central government needs to provide as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. Specifically, there were talks about the funds required for the Polavaram project, the distribution of government buildings in Hyderabad, and the division of educational institutions.

While some issues were resolved during the discussions between the officials of the two states, there were others that require more time for a resolution. It was reported that both states urged the central government to expedite the resolution of pending issues.

Following this meeting, it is expected that further discussions will be held to address the remaining issues, and the central government will continue its efforts to resolve the pending matters. Both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments are likely to coordinate with the center in resolving these issues moving forward.
