HYDERABAD: Even as the buildings for Heads of Departments (HoDs) have been divided between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments, some departments may move out of Hyderabad to the AP state soon.
“Some departments need not wait to relocate to the new capital city. There is no need for the Agriculture Department to continue in Hyderabad for long,” an official said. Agriculture, Horticulture, Disaster Management and other such departments can move to new Andhra Pradesh state. “There is no point in continuing the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad. It can be moved to AP where agricultural operations will be in high,” an officer said.
This will help the officials and people to interact very closely. “Farmers need not come all the way to Hyderabad to meet agricultural officials. For the officials, they can also monitor the activities very closely, if they moved to the new capital,” the official felt.
