Transition Process to Take Another Week

Hyderabad: The transition process to divide work between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states is expected to be completed by June 9. "Most of the transition will be completed by June 9. The Transition Committee is to review on a daily basis and sort out any issues and submit a daily progress report to the chief secretaries of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh till June 9," an order issued by the government said on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Transition Committee will first organise the office space allocated to them. As most of the floors in the Secretariat are allotted to more than one department, the senior-most secretary will be responsible to allocate office space on a particular floor to the staff. A clear layout plan, allocating rooms and workspaces to staff should be prepared by June 2.
This floor plan should indicate rooms for secretaries, for other senior staff and workspaces for sections. It should also indicate the location of record room and see that phones, faxes, computers, printers should also be made fully functional.
All secretaries and heads of departments are required to allocate subjects amongst the employees ordered to serve the state of Telangana and the remaining employees of Andhra Pradesh. As both the successor states would have less number of employees, the subjects are to be allotted by clubbing similar topics. This exercise is to be completed by June 3.
Employees ordered to serve the state of Telangana are to be relieved on June 2. However, they will be responsible to hand over all the files, movable assets and all other items under their custody to their identified counterpart in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The handing of files should be completed by June 9.
Each employee of Andhra Pradesh should have a counterpart (s) in Telangana state and vice versa.
In the Secretariat, certain departments are allocated the same office space that they are currently occupying. In such cases, the committee should make sure that space is created for incoming staff and new departments allotted to that floor. The movement of files and other movable assets can take place once such space is earmarked.
No Due Certificate: All handing over and taking over is to be done under proper certification by each employee who is handing over and his /her counterpart taking over from the other state.
Only after complete hand-over, a 'No Due' certificate may be issued by the officer in charge of OP section. The production of 'No Due' certificate is mandatory for drawing salary for the month of June.
