- Hyderabad, a bustling metropolitan city in India, will no longer be the joint capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh from Sunday.
- This change is mandated by the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014.
- Effective June 2, Hyderabad will exclusively serve as the capital of Telangana.
- The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014 stipulates that Hyderabad would be the common capital of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for a period not exceeding ten years.
- This arrangement was made following the bifurcation of unified Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
- The Act designated Hyderabad as the capital of both states for the transitional period.
- The transitional period is set to conclude on June 2, leading to Hyderabad becoming the sole capital of Telangana.
- This change marks the completion of the ten-year transitional phase outlined in the Act.
