A day after the Telangana Public Service Commission (TSPSC) released its maiden job notification, it accused its Andhra Pradesh counterpart of intentionally trespassing into the confidential section of TSPSC and occupying it.
The TSPSC has built a case against APPSC and has urged the State government to evict it from the Commission’s building for maintaining congenial atmosphere. According to TSPSC officials, a case of trespassing and ‘theft’/‘missing’ of files have also been registered with the Begum Bazar Police Station on Friday
The TSPSC has built a case against APPSC and has urged the State government to evict it from the Commission’s building for maintaining congenial atmosphere. According to TSPSC officials, a case of trespassing and ‘theft’/‘missing’ of files have also been registered with the Begum Bazar Police Station on Friday. The Commission officials alleged that the APPSC officials were not complying with the understanding reached by top officials of both the Public Service Commissions in June this year.
Telangana PSC member C Vithal said, “by the time we reached office, the in-charge of our confidential section came to us complaining that APPSC officials have broken open the section and several files have gone missing from the section. We have directed the secretary to lodge a police complaint.” He said that as per the understanding in the form of agreement between both the commissions it was decided that 2nd and 3rd floors are allotted to TSPSC and 4th, 5th floors for APPSC.
“We have instructed TSPSC section officials to completely make use of the 2nd and 3rd floor sections as per the agreements between both the commissions earlier,” he said. He said that by trespassing into the confidential section, entry to which is much restricted even for our employees, APPSC officials have created a security and confidentiality risk to important files pertaining to notifications and other stuff.
“We will now recommend the State government to shift APPSC from this building as every immovable asset here belongs to Telangana State as per the AP Reorganization Act,” he said. The Commission member said TSPSC would approach the State Reorganisation Committee to take necessary steps for shifting APPSC from the building because they pose threat to the functioning of TSPSC as long as they stay here.
“It may create a chaotic situation in the future as we have to release more notifications in the coming days and maintaining secrecy or confidentiality will be a challenge for us,” he observed. He said that before June 2, 2014 the then government has allotted some floors to AP and others to Telangana Commission, but objections were raised against that. Later a new understanding was signed between the two Commissions and Governor E S L Narasimhan welcomed it.
On the other hand, TSPSC Employees Union president Pawan Kumar Goud said that though higher-ups of APPSC agreed to co-operate, a few officials including the additional secretary and section officers from APPSC were deliberately creating ruckus. He said TSPSC does not have a strong room like their counterpart APPSC to preserve important files and examination papers. He said employees of TSPSC would start shifting to the allotted floors as per the agreement.
He alleged that APPSC officials wanted them to react rudely to build a case in support of Section 8 of the AP Reorganization Act. “But, we don’t want to do that,” he said.
