10 Years Passed - Issues including Hyderabad Remain UNSOLVED between AP and Telangana
It has been 10 years since bifurcation, yet various issues, such as asset partition and power bill dues, remain unsolved between andhra pradesh and telangana, even though hyderabad will cease to be the two states' combined capital on june 2.
According to the andhra pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014, hyderabad would be completely a telangana territory. According to official sources, the split of numerous institutions and organizations stated in Schedules 9 and 10 of the Act between the two states has yet to be finalized due to disagreements on several topics.
