Home Ministry constitutes five-member committee on Telangana issue. It will be headed by Justice B N Srikrishna, says Ministry spokesman.
Other committee members are--Ranbir Singh, Vice Chancellor, National Law University, Delhi, Abu Saleh Shariff, Senior Research Fellow in International Food Policy Research Institute, Delhi, Rabinder Kaur, Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT, Delhi and former Home Secretary V K Duggal (Member Secretary).
Last week, Chidambaram had said the committee to examine the demand for separate Telangana will be announced shortly.
Chidambaram, in the meeting with political parties from Andhra Pradesh on January 5, had said that its agenda was to "deliberate on the mechanism and lay down a road map for consultations" on the Telangana issue.
The meeting followed Chidambaram's statement on December 23 last year when the government had put on the back burner the formation of the separate state for which it had on December 9 promised to initiate the formation process.
