Hyderabad: The Telangana cabinet, under Chief Minister Revnath Reddy, has resolved to revert the vehicle registration abbreviation from TS to TG, aligning with the gazette notification issued by the Union Government.
Briefing mediapersons about the decisions taken by the cabinet, minister D Sridhar Babu said the previous government did not follow any rule and rhyme and decided to go with ‘TS’ as per its whims. Vehicle registration numbers will now have ‘TG’ as prefix.

The cabinet also resolved to conduct a caste census in the state, aligning with the Congress’ commitment to undertake such a census nationwide upon assuming power. Last month, Reddy had announced that a caste census would be initiated in the state shortly.

Reddy also criticised the former regime for its handling of Krishna River water usage. According to him, Telangana incurred greater losses in utilising Krishna River water during the earlier regime compared to the period of undivided Andhra Pradesh, as the previous government failed to protect the state’s interests.
