Kamalnathan Committee which met here on Thursday after three months to review allocation of State-level employees between the two States could resolve issues related to police department, a big department with about 30,000 posts. This should speed up the division of posts and allocation of employees between the two States. About 90 per cent of final State-level staff allocation to both the States could be done by June, senior officials said.
Of 89 departments, the committee already notified posts in 75 departments and called for employees’ options from seven departments. In the rest of fourteen departments, there was no unanimity over allocation of posts between the two departments between the HoDs .
The Thursday’s meeting turned out to be successful with top police officials from both the States coming to a broad agreement on division of State cadre posts in the APSP, Intelligence, Grey hounds and Octopus wings. The division of posts in police department had been pending as Telangana wanted greater number of posts in Octopus and Greyhounds wings on the basis of geographical intensity of extremist activities.
Andhra Pradesh wanted the division of posts on the basis of population. Finally both the sides agreed that Telangana could sanction additional posts if required.
