The Union cabinet cleared the Telangana bill on Friday, around a week after the Andhra Pradesh assembly rejected it, TV reports said.
The tabling of the bill in Parliament, however, is uncertain following uproar in both Houses over the issue in the extended Winter Session.
According to TV reports, Hyderabad will not get the status of a union territory if a separate Telangana state was carved out of Andhra Pradesh. It will serve as the capital of both Seemandhra and Telangana.
The issue, however, has triggered a ruckus in both Houses of Parliament in the extended Winter Session.
