Group of Ministers(GOM) Panel Clears Telangana Roadmap Wed Dec 04,2013

Among the proposals cleared by the GOM panel are a bigger Telangana state and a mechanism for sorting out the water sharing disputes

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde told reporters that the ministers' panel has "completed the process and the Cabinet will discuss the recommendations tomorrow Thursday Dec 05,2013".

The GOM panel is understood to have recommended merger of the two districts of Rayalseema - Kurnool and Anantpur - with proposed Telangana despite strong opposition from Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and some Congress leaders


If the proposal is accepted, undivided Andhra Pradesh would be divided equally and the two states would get 21 Lok Sabha seats each, 147 seats each in the assembly and 45 seats in the legislative council.

The GOM panel is believed to have recommended providing special status to both the states under Article 371-D of the Constitution

The Group of Ministers, in its meeting, fine-tuned issues related to -
  •  distribution of assets
  •  sharing of water
  •  demarcation of boundaries and
  •  divisions of officers' cadre.

However, a final decision will be taken by the Union Cabinet today Thursday Dec 05,2013
