Governor ESL Narasimhan, who is in charge of both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States, seemed to have apprehended a law and order situation in the joint capital of Hyderabad in the wake of the raging controversy over the cash-for-vote scam and advised the DGPs of both the states to sit across the table and avoid any confrontational actions.
Consequent to the mounting pressure from the AP Governor for revoking Section 8 of the AP Reorganization Act claiming a threat perception to the TDP leaders and Andhra settlers and subsequent move the state administration in deploying its forces in Hyderabad, the Governor summoned the DGPs of both the states and stressed the need for joint efforts to defuse breach of law and order in the joint capital.
The Governor also seemed to have wanted setting up of a two-member panel of IAS Officers to resolve amicably any issues cropping up between the police forces of the two states. (NSS)
