Chief Secretaries for New States by June 1
HYDERABAD: Governor ESL Narasimhan directed chief
secretary Mohanty on Friday to appoint two chief secretaries for the new
states by June 1 in consultation with the chief ministers-designate K
Chandrasekhar Rao Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu.

Officials See Merit in KCR's Demand on Staff Allocation
HYDERABAD: Though state government officials will
finalise and send the lists of the names of state-cadre employees to the
central government by Saturday night, the officials have now realised
that the provisional allocation of employees itself will create a lot of
problems. Several top officials involved in the work of allocation of
state-cadre employees are endorsing the viewpoint of Telangana chief
ministerdesignate K Chandrasekhar Rao that T-employees should serve the
Telangana government and no Seemandhra employee should be allotted to
the T-state. “Rao’s statement will sound a warning to Seemandhra
employees who, by any means, want to settle down in Hyderabad,” an
official said. It means that the officials at the work are fully
supporting Rao’s statement. The staff of the Board of Intermediate
Education led by C Vithal called on CR Kamalanathan at the Secretariat
on Friday. They explained that of the total seven posts in the BIE, four
were allocated to Andhra and three to Telangana. But, of the seven
employees five are from Telangana and two from Seemandhra. Thus, two
employees, including Vithal, have to work for the residuary AP state.
The Telangana employees do not want to work for AP government. At the
same time, they are also opposed to allowing Seemandhra staff to work
for T. “The BIE employees’ demand is genuine. But, if their case is
considered now, the procedure adopted for the allocation of staff
between Andhra and Telangana has to be changed. It is not possible now.
Let the employee serve either T or AP provisionally. Later, their
problems can be resolved in final allocation,” an official felt. But,
how have Vithal and others come to know that they will have to work for
AP even before the provisional allocation is made? “Vithal is a senior
leader and he might have got the information from within his own
department,” an official explained. Reacting to the representation
submitted by Vithal and others, Kamalanathan immediately forwarded the
same to the finance department with a suggestion that the T-employee
should serve only the T-state. If there are vacancies in the T-state,
the T employees should be adjusted in T only and see that they should
not be asked to serve Seemandhra. Meanwhile, officials are busy
finalising the lists of employees to send the same to the central
government. “We have to finish the list of the health department. The
work will be completed by Saturday and the list will be sent to the
Centre by night,” an official told Express. Then, the Centre will issue
an order stating that all the district, zonal and multizonal employees
deemed to have been allocated to the states where they are currently
working. For the state-cadre employees, the Centre will issue
department-wise orders with the names of employees allocated either to T
or AP. The orders are likely to be issued by May 27 or May 28, after
Narendra Modi takes oath as PM. If the announcement of central cabinet
is delayed, the prime minister can sign the orders. If the cabinet is
constituted immediately, then the minister in charge of the department
of personnel and training (DoPT) will issue the orders, an official
explained.
TRS Sets Up 'War Room' at T Bhavan
HYDERABAD: With discontent among Telangana employees over allocation of Seemandhra employees to Telangana state growing, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi has set up a ‘war room’ at its office, Telangana Bhavan, to deal with the issue. Employees can send in their grievances or information to the war room about any Seemandhra employee making a false claim of local status. The pa r t y a l s o launched a website, www.trswarroom.com, for the pupose. Employees can mail their problems or complaints to trswarroom@ gmail.com.

Idea is good but any way separation has taken place. Any unsolicited actions which increase the difference among Telugu people are not welcome at all. Why "WAR ROOM", why can't some thing like "Employee Grievance Redressal Room". Being a punjabi to me It appears to me these guys are fighting without any proper need. After all, all of these people are Telugus only. Modulations are different. Pity but Funny

CM KCR TO WORK FROM KUNDANBAGH
Express News Service
Hyderabad, May 21:
The camp office of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao will be Minister's quarters 3 and 4 in Kudanbagh.
As the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief and chief minister designate Rao was not willing to occupy the present Chief Minister's camp office in Begumpet, the government issued orders on Wednesday alloting Minister's quarters in Kudanbagh for him. This will be used as camp office by Rao.
It may be recalled that the present Chief Minister's camp office in Begumpet was constructed during the regime of YS Rajasekhara Reddy. But, his successor K Rosaiah was not willing to work from there and worked from his Ameerpet residence. Later, N Kumar Reddy worked from Beguempet camp office for three years.
But, Rajasekhara Reddy died in a helicopter crash. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who used the same Begumpet camp office, quit the Congress, floated his own party and even failed to contest in the elections. Kiran Reddy's Jai Samaikyandhra Party failed to attract the voters in the recent Assembly polls.
Thus, the present camp office in Begumpet was considered as "ill-luck" and lack of proper Vastu. The first Chief Minister of Telangana and TRS chief Rao too reportedly refused to work from Begumpet camp office. He intimated the same to officials. The officials involved in the division of assets, hurriedly issued orders on Wednesday alloting Minister's quarters in Kudanbagh, very nearer to the present Begumpet camp office. Earler, the committee which allocated buildings between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states allotted Begempet camp office for Telangana Chief Minister and Lake View guest house for AP Chief Minister as camp office.
The quarters allotted to the first Chief Minister of Telangana were presently occupied by two officers M Mahender Reddy ((IPS) and AK Parida (IAS). The government issued notices to the two senior officers to vacate the quarters immediately.

Meet in Delhi Today to Discuss Financial Position of 2 States
On the
request of governor ESL Narasimhan, the Centre constituted a joint
committee to look into the financial matters of the successor states.
Principal secretary (Finance) PV Ramesh will attend the meeting with secretaries of ministry of revenue and ministry of finance and other officials on Thursday.
The state government officials will discuss with the Central officials Section 46 of the AP Reorganisation Act. They will also seek some grants for the residuary Andhra Pradesh state, which is estimated to face a revenue deficit of around Rs 15,000 crore.
The Reorganisation Act states that the award made by the 13th Finance Commission to the existing state of Andhra Pradesh will be apportioned between the successor states by the Central government on the basis of population ratio and other parameters. Based on that, the President shall make a reference to the 14th Finance Commission to take into account the resources available to the successor states and make separate awards for each of the successor states.
The Central government may, having regard to the resources available to the successor state of Andhra Pradesh, make appropriate grants and also ensure that adequate benefits and incentives in the form of special development package are given to the backward areas of that state.
The Central government, while considering the special development package for the successor state of Andhra Pradesh, will provide adequate incentives, in particular for Rayalaseema and north coastal regions. All these issues mentioned in the Act will be discussed on Thursday’s meeting, sources said.

by VV Balakrishna
Hyderabad: Educational institutions proposed in the AP Reorganisation Act will be started in temporary buildings for the time being in both the successor States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, till new buildings were constructed.
Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami, who had a through overview of the Reorganisation Act on Monday, wanted the State officials to examine temporary buildings for the institutions proposed in the Act, under Higher Education Department.
Anil Goswami reviewed the progress of division of the state and other aspects of the Act with Chief Secretary PK Mohanty and other senior officials at the Secretariat.
Official sources told Express that the Union Home Secretary expressed satisfaction over the progress of the division work. What Anil Goswami reviewed is as follows:
HIGHER EDUCATION: Goswami wanted the officials to find suitable lands for the institutions proposed under the Act. Till permanent buildings are constructed, the institutions can be started in temporary buildings, like the IIT started in Medak district.
The government mentioned in the Act that one IIT, one NIT, one IIM, one IISER, one Central University, one Petroleum University, one Agricultural University and one IIIT, one AIIMS type Super Speciality Hospital-cum-Teaching Institution and a National Institute of Disaster Management will be started in residuary Andhra Pradesh.
The Centre will also establish one Tribal University each in both AP and Telangana, and a Horticulture University in Telangana.
POLAVARAM: An Ordinance will be issued by the Centre soon to merge around 200 villages in Khammam district with residuary AP. These will be submerged under Polavaram major irrigation project. The constitution of Godavari and Krishna river boards is under the process.
AIRPORTS: Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Tirupati airports will be expanded to international standards. The State should send the proposals to the Centre. The Home Secretary will take up the matter with the Civil Aviation Minister.
METRO RAIL: The Metro Rail projects proposed for Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali are put on hold temporarily, as the new capital for residuary AP has to be identified and a Metro Rail project is also needed there.
CORPORATIONS: The corporations and companies listed in Schedule 9 and 10 of the Act will be divided soon. The powers to divide these institutions will be delegated to regional officials of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in Hyderabad so that the work will be completed quickly. Now, the powers are vested with the Centre.
STAFF DIVISION: The division of the State-cadre employees is in the process and the Centre will soon take a final call. When the officials brought to the notice of Goswami that there was no clarity in the Act on commercial taxes liability, he said the matter will be examined and it would be taken up with the authorities concerned.
Meanwhile, Anil Goswami will stay in the city on Tuesday too. Those interested, including representatives of employees associations and others, can meet him in Lake View guest house, officials said. Goswami is likely to visit the Secretariat on Tuesday and examine the buildings, especially H South Block allotted to AP Chief Minister.

Guv Okays CS Retirement on June 1
Express News Service
Hyderabad: Chief Secretary PK Mohanty will retire from service on June 1, a day ahead of the Appointed Day. Governor ESL Narasimhan accepted the request made by Mohanty recently seeking voluntary retirement on June 1, paving the way for the successor governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to appoint two new Chief Secretaries.
Secretary (Political) N Siva Sankar issued orders on Monday notifying the retirement of Prasanna Kumar Mohanty, a 1979 batch officer, from the service with effect from June 1. Mohanty who has already retired, is continuing as Chief Secretary under extension.
Orders were issued granting extension of service to PK Mohanty after his retirement on February 28 this year. His services were extended up to June 30. But, later, Mohanty requested the Governor that he would not continue till June end and requested him to permit retirement from service on June 1 itself, because of the division of the State.
The government on Monday accepted the proposal, waiving the three months notice period.
New Chief Secys:
Both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states will start functioning on June 2. Mohanty will retire on June 1 itself. The question is who will be the new Chief Secretaries for AP and Telangana? According to sources, some senior IAS officers are willing to continue in Telangana state as they would get the opportunity to serve as Chief Secretary.
However, the seniority of IAS officers should be determined only after the allocation of All India Service (AIS) officers between Telangana and AP. It was not clear yet, who will serve which state. Pratyush Sinha Committee is likely to issue guidelines for the allocation of AIS officers. Then, the AIS officers would be allocated to the two states either on May 30 or 31. The seniority of the officers for considering their names for Chief Secretaries of the two states will be considered separately in the both the States.
After the counting of votes on May 16, the Central government in consultation with the Chief Ministers-designate may appoint the Chief Secretaries of respective states or the Governor may appoint two senior officers as incharge Chief Secretaries.

Meetings to Finalise State Cadre Info from Today
Data reconciliation needed as details available with Finance Department and departments do not tally
Express News Service
Hyderabad: The final set of meetings will be held at the Secretariat from May 13 to 15 with secretaries and HoDs concerned to finalise the state-cadre employees data for the division of the State.
It may be recalled that that the number of posts available with the Finance Department, which is a nodal agency, and the number of posts available with each department are not tallying.
With this, the Chief Secretary, in a memo on Monday, wanted all the Secretaries and HoDs to come to the meeting and correlate the figures. This is to divide the posts and state-cadre employees as a part of the division of the departments.
In the memo, Mohanty emphasised that it shall be the responsibility of the Secretary concerned and the Head of the Department to ensure that the information is authentic and that no post or individual is left out.
"The Secretaries are instructed to attend the final review and confirmation meetings as per the schedule without fail along with the heads of departments under their charge. They shall take necessary action to complete the data entry process and furnish error-free information in the proforma prescribed well ahead of the meeting," the Chief Secretary said.
The officials of respective departments should furnish and see that the information with them is tallied with the Finance Department's with regard to district, zonal, multi-zonal and state-cadre posts, he said.
BOX:
NUMBER, DETAILS OF POSTS
Each department is required to submit the following information for onward transmission to the Central government:
* Number of sanctioned posts in local, district, zonal and multi-zonal (falling entirely within either Telangana or AP) cadres in all offices at all levels from village to district, including zonal/multi-zonal/special/project/adhoc/temporary state-level offices located in the 10 districts of Telangana and 13 districts of AP State.
* Number of multi-zonal posts common to both States, along with their current location and proposal for allocation of these posts between the two States.
* Number of State-cadre posts in 10 districts of Telangana and 13 districts of AP, other than the posts in the HoD offices, along with the details of location of these posts.
* Details of posts in all cadres in the Head of the Department’s office, along with vacancies in each cadre.
* Details of posts in all cadres in the state- level institutions, projects, programmes, societies etc, including vacancies.
* Details of persons working in the State Cadre posts in the districts in the order of seniority as on March 1, 2014.

Goswami Meets Governor

Variance in Data on Govt Posts
The sanctioned government posts, according to the finance department, are 10,40,905. The officials, who are on the job of allocating state government staff between Telangana and AP states, came out with this figure on Friday. But, there is no correlation between the data available with the finance department and the data available with respective heads of departments (HoDs).
In the wake of this, the finance department issued a memo on Friday stating that the sanctioned posts in each department should match with the finance department’s information. This needs to be reconciled. For instance, the total number of sanctioned posts in the state is 10,40,905 as per the finance department. But it is only 9,89,087 as per the date given by the various HoDs.
The same exercise is to be done by each HoD to match the overall numbers. If there are any GOs, which are not being reflected in the finance department’s data, they should be brought to its notice and reconciled. Out of the 181 departments, 51 have shown more than 100 per cent of the data available with the finance department, 23 have shown exact match of 100 per cent and remaining 107 have shown less than 100 per cent.
The second level of reconciliation is that not only overall posts should match but also each category of posts should match. For instance, in agriculture there are 87 categories of posts as per the data with the finance department whereas the data provided by the HoD shows 108 categories. This also needs to be reconciled.
The third level is the correctness of the post classifications _ state, multi-zonal, zonal and district. This information is critical to determine the allocable pool of posts. Any error in data will lead to a wrong determination of the size of the allocable pool of posts.
The next information which is to be checked is about vacancies. It may be the case that the number of people actually working may be equal to/less/more than the (sanctioned posts/vacancies). The vacancy position is independent of the number of employees working in that category. This information is crucial because along with the sanctioned posts vacancies will also be allocated.
The seniority of employees too should be accurate, the finance department told the HoDs. It is observed that several departments have entered more than one employee at the same seniority level and 0 as seniority for several employees. This is totally unacceptable and the HoD will be doing serious injustice to his/her staff. This information has to be verified and certified.
Meanwhile, to reconcile the information with accuracy, a final set of meetings with all HoDs will be held on May 13, 14 and 15. The HoDs are not allowed to effect changes in the information on employees data after May 15.
Vote-on-account Too is Divided into 2
Hyderabad: The vote-on-account for year 2014-15 has been divided between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Governor ESL Narasimhan has to approve it. “The interim budget is divided between the two new sates. The government is likely to ratify the same in a day or two,” an official said on Friday. The interim budget was divided for the next four months. The amounts allocated will be shared between the two states as per the works. For example, the amount shown under Pranahita-Chevella will entirely go to Telangana and that shown under Polavaram will go entirely to AP. “The full-fledged budget will be prepared after June 2 by the principal secretaries (finance) of the respective states,” the officer said.
