Government of India (GOI) is veering towards limiting the contours of Hyderabad as the joint capital of the two states to the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police limits from the law and order point of view and the GHMC jurisdiction as the revenue division. Such a demarcation will protect the individuality of the new Telangana state as well as safeguard the Seemandhra interests in Hyderabad until residuary Andhra Pradesh gets its new capital, highly places sources privy to the development told INN Live.
The Cyberabad police limits stretches across a vast 3,600 sq km covering Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts while the Hyderabad police jurisdiction extends to a mere 200 sq km.
“Together, the two police districts cover 3,800 sq km in the Greater Hyderabad region and once this area is notified as the joint capital jurisdiction from the law and order point of view, all vital installations including the Rajiv Gandhi international airport would come under its purview,” the sources said.
The Cyberabad police limits extends from Abdullapurmet near Ramoji Fim City till Lingampally near BHEL and from Medchal, Shamirpet and Ghatkesar till Maheswaram and Ibrahimpatnam on the other side. “By bringing all these outlying areas under the Hyderabad joint capital jurisdiction, the authorities can ensure that any possible attempts by Maoists to regain a foothold in the core Telangana region will be thwarted,” they claimed.
For the revenue limits of the joint capital, GOI is inclined to settle for the 625 sq km that is the jurisdiction of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). “The Centre has considered the demand of some political parties that the joint capital jurisdiction be limited to the Hyderabad revenue district that is spread over 217 sq km. However, that is not feasible as the city has expanded much beyond that area and that jurisdiction has lost all its relevance now,” said the sources.
