150 AP staff leave Hyderabad with heavy heart

The grim faced 150 AP government employees allotted to Andhra Pradesh State following the State bifurcation left for Vijayawada with a heavy heart on Thursday. The government employees were allotted on the basis of their nativity to the respective States --- Telangana and Andhra Pradesh -- as per the AP Re-organization Act. Just before boarding a bus for Vijayawada, the Andhra employees emotionally embraced their colleagues belonging to Telangana. They said, “We are leaving Telangana with a heavy heart, as we worked with our colleagues for decades together”. However, they said there was no chance as we have to leave the place to go to our own state where we would serve with the same enthusiasm. While leaving the state, the Andhra Pradesh employees expressed hope that both the Telugu states would develop without rancour.
