With CAG’s help, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh hope to settle power dues owed each other

Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments expect to resolve the issue of pending power dues with the help of the Comptroller and Auditor General.

Both the State governments have been making claims and counterclaims since Telangana was carved out as a separate State from Andhra Pradesh.

The amicable relations between the two chief ministers — Telangana’s K Chandrasekhar Rao and Andhra Pradesh’s YS Jaganmohan Reddy — has paved the way to resolve various issues.

D Prabhakar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of TS Transco and TS Genco, said “We expect to resolve the power dues issues in an amicable manner once the claims and counterclaims are looked into. We do not see any hurdles in doing so and have also sought the help of the CAG for the same.”
