The winter session of the Telangana legislature will commence here from October 27. Governor E S L Narasimhan had issued a notification last last night summoning both the houses of the legislature.

According to a statement issued by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s office, the state Cabinet will meet on October 23 and discuss various issues to be raised in the legislature and also the Bills to be introduced.

The Business Advisory Committee (BAC) of the legislature would meet on October 26 and decide on the duration of the session, a government release had earlier said.

Rao has decided to put forth a proposal that the schedule for the legislature session be prepared for a month with at least 15 to 20 working days, it had said.

The Treasury Benches are expected to pass fresh resolutions on key issues like bifurcation of the High Court (between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) and send them to the Centre for approval.

The other issues on which fresh resolutions are expected include increasing the reservation for minorities and STs in jobs and education, income-tax exemption for the employees of state-run Singareni Collieries and establishment of AIIMS in Telangana.
