Telangana movement has an historic approach with Electrical utilities. During 1969
Telangana agitation, a group of young Engineers from Telangana region have fought
against the management for non-implementation of Mulki rule in APSEB, which was
one of the state Government under takings. Many a no.of Engineers at KTPS Palvancha
have participated and were jailed during the above agitations. KTPS has always played
key role in formulating various Pro-Telangana agitations, due to all the higher
ups in the management are from Seemandhra region. This was due to pressure from
all the people to implement G.O. M.S No.36, Dated: Jan 21th,1969 ordering repatriation
of all non Mulkis, before 28-02-1969.
K.T.P.S. has also faced uniqueness, as Seemandhra management sabotaged our own property
on purpose of obtaining repair contracts to Andhra Contractors. It was confirmed
by single man commission Sri. Sunda Ramaiah in 1979.
Even all APSEB scams occurred so far at high level in board are targetted towards
Telangana Power supply and Distribution System. In this aspect, higher officials
were found guilty by Sri. Vimalal Commission. It’s recommendations were never implemented.
After introducing reforms also the Seniors have never changed . As a entire governing
body and rulers are from Seemandhra region.
At the time of peak Telangana movement all the respective association of Telangana
region like Telangana Journalist forum,Telangana Udyogula Sangam , etc., had approached
our Engineers , which necessiated for the formation of Telangana Electricity Engineers
Association(TEEA).
