Struggling with lack of 'dedicated' bureaucracy, AP demands separate cadre

Struggling with the lack of a 'dedicated' bureaucracy, the government of the border state of Arunachal Pradesh once again raised the demand for a separate cadre for itself.While governor of the state Brig (retired) BD Mishra on Sunday met Minister of State for the Prime Minister's Office, Jitendra Singh and demanded a separate cadre for the state. Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu also backed the governor."A separate cadre is the need of the hour for a sustainable and seamless development of our State, which I had been pressing for all along. I wholeheartedly thank our hon'ble governor for his proactiveness in taking up the issue with the appropriate office in GOI," Khandu said on Twitter.The state executive of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had, on October 1, passed a resolution for a separate cadre. This is the second time the demand has been vetted by the state.Earlier, all party MLAs had passed the demand for a separate cadre in a Legislative Assembly session.Being a part
