Summary:
The committee reportedly assured the State delegation that it would thoroughly examine the issue and make recommendations enabling the efficient use of the infrastructure. Officials said though the State wanted a review of the deemed pool system delegating allotment powers to Telangana consequent on the vacation of these properties by AP government, the AP government insisted that the deemed pool system would continue. “These properties can only be shared and cannot be physically taken away,” Mr.
Chidambaram was quoted as saying. Of the total 589 quarters that went to AP under the deemed pool system, 368 were lying vacant as the officers opted for AP post bifurcation and moved over to Vijayawada. The delegation explained the condition of these properties and lamented that AP was taking advantage of the provisions of the Act rendering the valuable infrastructure useless..
