GoM to hold meeting on Telangana issue today

New Delhi: Amid raging protests over Telangana issue, the Group of Ministers (GoM), set up to look into the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

The GoM, headed by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, was constituted to address all the issues which require resolution at the central and state government level.

After its first meeting on October 11, the GoM had said that it would address all concerns of the people of Andhra Pradesh with ‘fairness and objectivity.’
Following a directive of the GoM, various Central Ministries and departments like Power and Water Resources have prepared status reports and these are expected to be submitted to the panel on Saturday.

With the status papers, the GoM could set out the broad contours for division of assets besides a special package for the restive Seemandhra region that is up in arms against the bifurcation.

Feedbacks from general public on the terms of reference were also sought by the GoM.

Two key members of the GoM – Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Defence Minister AK Antony – could not attend the last meeting due to different reasons.
