Hyderabad: The Telangana state government is gearing up to repatriate about 650 teachers hailing from Andhra Pradesh working in Hyderabad and surrounding districts under pressure from local teacher union leaders.

The leaders submitted a list of these teachers to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and demanded that they be relieved from duties soon after the current academic year 2015-16 gets completed in March and include these vacancies in TS teacher recruitment exam notification to be released soon.

Earlier, the TS government relieved AP engineers working in power and irrigation departments leading to court cases.

The bifurcation of employees between both the states continues to lead to tussles between AP and TS staff even 19 months after bifurcation, because no provision has been made in the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014,  over how to distribute staff at zonal, multi-zonal and district-level quota.

The Act has provision only for bifurcation of state-cadre staff working in the Secretariat and HoDs for which the Centre had appointed the Kamalnathan  Committee, which is still in the process of dividing about 60,000 state-cadre staff.
