Chief Secretary Sameer Sharma issued a circular memo on Thursday, October 7, 2021, stating that the government decided to collect information in respect of such employees, who are interested in exercising the option to go to Telangana on a permanent basis.
The employees were asked to submit their option by November 7 to their head office or head of the department concerned.
