Non-locals to be repatriated by June 30

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh Government gave a commitment in the Assembly on Wednesday that all non-locals from Hyderabad and other zones in the State would be repatriated by June 30, 2007, even as members of the TRS staged a walkout demanding adoption of a resolution favouring separate Telangana.

During the two-day-long debate on GO 610, Rural Development Minister D. Srinivas said all Government departments had been asked to collect details about each employee in a prescribed form by January 31, 2007. The repatriation appeared possible since non-locals now numbered only 58,000 as unofficially assessed.
