The Home Ministry is preparing a draft paper on formation of the Telengana State for the meeting with leaders of Andhra Pradesh parties here on Tuesday. It proposes a Union Territory status to Hyderabad alike Chandigarh and an unanimous resolution by the State assembly to proceed further for carving out the new State, a top source privy to the first draft disclosed. Yet to be finalised is the time-frame as to whether Hyderabad should be a Union Territory for seven years or 10 years, the source said, stating that Home Minister P Chidambaram will have the final say on whether to mention any time-frame at all or not. Chandigarh was made a common capital of both Punjab and Haryana at the time of trifurcation of old Punjab State in 1966 and the dispute over who gets it finally and who sets up a new State capital remains undecided even after 44 years. The Home Ministry may, therefore, propose a timeframe to avoid this difficulty. http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=31788&cid=2 |
