The directorsgeneral of police (DGPs) of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will tentatively share the existing offices of DGP (intelligence), CID and APSP. The exact details of allocation will be worked out separately. Pr inc ipal s e c r e t ar y (home) TP Das informed governor ESL Narasimhan at a review meeting at the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday that both the DGPs would function from the same premises. “Reorganisation of APSP plays a crucial role in maintenance of law and order and providing security to vital installations, establishments and to VVIPs,” Das said and proposed to include Greyhounds, Octopus, Special Intelligence Bureau, Counter Intelligence, State Crime Records Bureau, Finger Prints Bureau, SPF Training Centre and other services in Schedule 10 of the State Reorganisation Act. The governor asked Das to assess the requirement of additional forces as the division would diminish available resource pool of existing police battalions. The principal secretary said the AP State Police Housing Corporation should continue to function even after the appointed day and its assets and liabilities shall be apportioned between the two states. The AP Police Academy, the AP Forensic Science Laboratory, AP Fire Service, Civil Defence Training Institute and other institutions under Schedule 10 will continue to provide the same facilities as may be agreed upon between the two state governments within a period of one year.
