House panel divided over GO 610

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Differences surfaced along regional lines among members of the House Committee on GO 610, with some demanding its implementation in all public sector undertakings in tune with the J. M. Girglani Committee's recommendations and others opposing it.

At the meeting, chaired by N. Uttam Kumar Reddy (Congress) here on Wednesday, Telangana MLAs T. Devender Goud (TDP), T. Harish Rao (TRS), V. Sunita Lakshma Reddy (Congress), Chada Venkat Reddy (CPI) and G. Kishan Reddy (BJP) wanted all PSUs to be brought under the purview of the GO, which is aimed repatriating non-locals from Telangana. But, Gade Venkat Reddy, D.C. Govinda Reddy (both Congress) and Y. Ramakrishnudu (TDP), who belong to the other two regions, reportedly opposed it.

The Telangana MLAs contended that the GO was in force in the AP Dairy Development Corporation and Singareni Collieries. Chief Secretary J. Hari Narayan and Mr. Girglani attended the meeting.

TRS legislator Harish Rao reportedly questioned the Government's stand that 15 per cent posts in each district and 25 per cent in every zone would be reserved for non-locals when there was no mention in the Presidential Order.

Mr. Kishan Reddy wanted application of every employee regarding the local/non-local status to be attested by the department head so that there was accountability.
