Telangana throws Andhra Pradesh labour staff out

Hyderabad: The controversy surrounding the  labour department took another twist with the Telangana government  throwing out the AP employees from the labour commissioner’s office and sealing  their chambers.

After receiving complaints from the employees of the labour commissioner, AP government chief secretary I.Y.R Krishna Rao on Monday wrote to Telangana chief secretary Rajeev Sharma informing him that the assistant labour commissioner will come to the labour commissioner’s office and he should be allowed to take the files belonging  to AP.

The friction between the two states began after Telangana government alleged that the AP government was shifting funds, which belong to both Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh.

Following this, the Telangana government wrote  to the banks not to release the funds and the banks decided to freeze  the funds. After that the Telangana government threw  out all AP employees from the labour commissioner’s office.
