Article 371D of the Constitution of India provides for special arrangements for the state of Telangana. It was inserted by the 92nd Amendment Act, 2003. The article provides for the following special arrangements:

  • The Governor of Telangana shall have special responsibility with respect to law and order in the state.
  • The President may, by order, direct that the provisions of any law made by Parliament shall not apply to the state of Telangana, or shall apply to the state subject to such exceptions and modifications as he may specify in the order.

The article provides for special arrangements for the state of Telangana in order to ensure that the interests of the people of Telangana are protected.
