The three-member committees of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh state governments met at the Raj Bhavan on Wednesday in the presence of governor ESL Narasimhan in a bid to resolve the bifurcation issues with mutual cooperation.

It was the first of meetings initiated by the governor to settle issues that have been vexing the two states for two-and- a-half years since bifurcation. Both states agreed to send their issues to the governor’s office for it to prepare the agenda for the next meeting scheduled to be held in Hyderabad on February 9. Issues include division of assets listed in Schedules IX and X, High Court, employees and all other issues arising out of AP Re-organisation Act, 2014.
