The B.N. Srikrishna Committee report on Telangana has been
submitted to the home ministry and would be made public Jan 6,
union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said Thursday. Justice B.N.
Srikrishna, the retired Supreme Court judge who headed the panel
to look look into the demands for separate statehood to Telangana,
handed over the report to Chidambaram in his chamber at North
Block at about 3 p.m.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh discussed the issue of a separate
Telangana state with his senior ministers Wednesday ahead of the
impending report of the panel that examined the contentious demand
that has created sharp political divisions in Andhra Pradesh.
Heavy security arrangements have been made in Andhra Pradesh in
anticipation of the report being submitted.
The Srikrishna Committee was set up in February to study, among
other things, the situation in Andhra Pradesh in the aftermath of
the agitation for a separate Telangana state and the
counter-protests that virtually crippled the state for weeks.
The committee met over 100 groups, including political parties,
intellectuals, politicians and retired bureaucrats and visited all
the 23 districts of the state, to ascertain people’s views.
