APPSC Staff Accused Of Stealing Files From TSPSC

Alleging that Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) employees broke in to their confidential room by using duplicate keys and took away very important files, TNGOs' leader Vittal said that they would bring the crime to the notice of the state government as well as the two states' common Governor E S L Narasimhan.

The TNGOs' leader said that while the first floor of the PSC building was allotted to both the two Telugu states for common use, the second and third floors were allotted exclusively for the Telangana PSC, and the fourth and fifth floors to the APPSC.

Even an agreement to this effect was inked at the time of the bifurcation of the united state, and was also endorsed by the Governor, he said.

Vittal said that as the APPSC had failed to vacate the second and third floors of the building as per the agreement, the TSPSC was constrained to set up its confidential room on the fifth floor. He said that on Friday night the APPSC employees trespassed into their confidential room on the fifth floor and took away highly important confidential files.

As the space on the second and third floors was not sufficient in the wake of the process of the filling up of vacant posts on a large scale, the TNGOs leader demanded that the APPSC immediately vacate the building and allow the TSPPC staff to do their jobs.

The TNGOs leaders also filed a complaint with the Begum Bazaar police on Friday of theft of key files from their confidential room. The police have started investigation.
