APSRTC Seals A Block at Hyderabad RTC HQ as Asset Dispute Deepens

Talks now focus on whether the RTC headquarters counts as a shared asset.

Overview

  • APSRTC locked and sealed the A Block of Bus Bhavan, posted trespass notices on the doors, and police guarded the building.
  • Telangana’s commercial taxes staff had entered the disputed fourth floor at night after an order to house their offices there.
  • APSRTC then resecured the floor and extended locks to the entire block, leaving only limited access on the ground level.
  • The Andhra Pradesh government asked Telangana to pause any reallocation until asset sharing is settled, and the states’ chief secretaries are handling talks.
  • RTC unions in Telangana say the property belongs to the corporations and opposed moving tax offices, while a 2018 panel led by Sheela Bhide flagged Bus Bhavan as a common asset after an earlier working split of A Block to APSRTC and B Block to TGSRTC.
