Jaganmohan Reddy asks Telangana government to return land to Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers Union

HYDERABAD: YSR Congress president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy today demanded that the Telangana government should return the land in Hyderabad to the Andhra Pradesh Non-Gazetted Officers (APNGO) Union, which it has taken in its possession.

Expressing "serious objection" to the Telangana government's move of land resumption (process of acquisition, objections etc) of 189 acres land, alloted to the APNGOs (employees of residuary Andhra Pradesh government) about two decades ago, Reddy said APNGOs have already spent crores of rupees on the development of the land.

The Andhra Pradesh government should intervene in the matter and stand by the APNGOs, he said in a statement here.

The Telangana government reportedly resumed the land alloted to the APNGOs (meant for housing) in the city as it has been lying unused.
