According to sources, Antony submitted an interim report on the concerns of Seemandhra people, arising out of the proposed bifurcation.

He is further said to have told the committee that the status of Hyderabad is another issue that has become a major issue. If this issue is sorted out then the Seemandhra leaders will not have objection for bifurcation.
He reportedly told the committee that the leaders from the region had different suggestions on status of Hyderabad.
