Telangana, Andhra Pradesh Dispute Rs 9,000 Crore in Liabilities
After splitting up, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh still disagree about how to share some old debts.
They owe about Rs 9,000 crore from projects that got money from other countries.
Andhra Pradesh wants to divide the money based on where the projects are located, like the power station.
But Telangana wants to split the cost based on how many people live in each state.
This disagreement is causing problems because the law says they should split it by population, and Telangana might have to pay more than it thinks is fair.
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are in a financial dispute over Rs 9,000 crore in loans.
The loans are from externally aided projects from the united Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh wants to divide loans based on project location.
Telangana wants to divide loans based on population ratio.
Disagreement impacts projects in both states, with Telangana at risk of additional financial burden.
