In a surprising development, the Andhra Pradesh government has decided not to post government orders online from now. All GOs issued henceforth would not be uploaded on the government’s official portal (goir.ap.gov.in). An order to this effect was issued by principal secretary Revu Mutyala Raju on Monday.

The order, to be implemented with immediate effect, was taken in line with the “system prevailing in other states and Government of India with regard to government orders and office memoranda,” the principal secretary said in the order.

While the reason behind the government’s move to keep the GOs offline is not known, sources say the decision was taken to keep away some ‘trouble makers’, who, the government feels, are filing pleas in the court leading to unnecessary delay in their implementation.
